    Was it a compliment?

    Yesterday the GDs and I were in my summerhouse sorting out paints for the project they were working on. GD1 started to look through a few odd paintings in there, then paused and looked at me, back at the paintings and said "Grandma why is it you can paint, but you can't draw?'

    I'm sure she meant it kindly Daisy!

      😆😂🤣 Don’t you just love them?
      My latest compliment was from 9 year old GS at a horse event on Sunday. ‘Grandma, you’re the best smelling thing around here’. 😁

            Not just GC Daisy who can give a 'back-handed compliment'.........my DS when he saw my latest attempt said : Well you can see the improvement in your work Mum!

            GM.....can smell you from here!!Chanel No 5 is it ?


            p.s. wish I had a GD......my Gs only wants to play football/cricket or do something physical when he's around. Be nice to sit and paint or draw!!

              WG - one of my GSs enjoys art and when he was little we would often sit and draw, colour or paint. I feel as though I've been greedy now - 3 out of 4 GCs who like art!!..

              I think GD1's point of reference is her mum, who has a talent for drawing cute, interesting animals, people or whatever. So if one of the girls asks her to draw a giraffe it will look like a giraffe, but my giraffe might look more like a warthog!

              Grauntie - at least that was definitely a compliment.

              Gem - I think GD was just puzzled!

                Like WG I miss all the painting and crafts I used do with my GD, my first grandchild. GS1, second grandchild is disinterested.
                However, GS2 has started to enjoy drawing so my hopes are up again

                  Gem - I'm sure he will have some of his siter's artistic genes.
