Self-portrait Crying

Child's marker drawing of a face with a circular outline, messy dark hair, two almond-shaped eyes, a straight red mouth, and long red tear lines running down from the eyes.

Precious little girl that first drew a picture of me and then of herself. Upon completion of the picture I said something like, “Oh, what a good job, that really looks like you.” She then said “No, wait.” She took the marker and slowly drew those long tears down her face, saying, “Now it’s me.”
