Remember when kids dreamed of one day being an astronaut or a teacher? I, myself, dreamed of one day being a cartoonist, thinking that I could draw and color all day, and Mickey Mouse would be my boss. Does it get any better?
Kids nowadays are growing up so much faster than yesteryear, and I'm not just talking about physically -- hormones in chicken can only account for so much. No siree, kids today are doing everything a little bit faster than we did back in the day. Sushi at the ripe age of 3, for example. . . or playing forensic scientist.
Here's an image taken today of two such budding CSI stars. Yes, they're making chalk outlines on the concrete. That's Sophia there being outlined by her best friend, Lida, and down below is Sophia getting a turn.
In all honesty, practicing the chalky outlines of body parts seems to have helped Lida put real stick figures to paper so I thought, "Why not?" we've got some time to kill (bad pun) and some chalk to burn.
So, if you find yourself in The Mission and want to check out our sidewalk artwork, come on by. I call it "Midget Ninja Massacre." Viewings are today until it wears off or it rains, whichever comes first. I'm thinking you have until January 2010.
