An Artist's Modesty

Legend and Cash were very proud of their butterfly paintings. You know the kind where you paint on one side of the paper then fold it over and press it together to get the same paint on the other half of the paper? 

I put Legend's on the fridge and Cody and I fawn over it, telling him how wonderful it is and how proud we are of him. We gush. 

Legend listens happily while mommy and daddy go on and on with praise, then he waves his arm as if to dismiss it all and says "Yuck, yuck!".

An artist is his own worst critic.
