Bringing you the world of kids, one 'ffed up drawing at a time.

So, the assignment was "Draw a picture that shows something familiar with new uses." but it was phrased better. If you are familiar with Doraemon it was similar to asking them to draw an object or environment all tricked-out with great gadgets, like an Anywhere Door or a Beanie-hat-helicopter...or drawing the house that has everything.

The best part is that when they turned in the drawings they had to explain them to me. What with the nature of the drawings and my Japanese level, this was deliciously surreal.For example, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to decipher the relationship between the banana and the ninja in one of the pictures even if I was perfectly fluent!

I'm not sure what's going on in this drawing, but I know that there are two beer-drinking adults, one of whom is drunk. Sorry for posting it in two parts.

This is actually a polished version, when he first handed it in the man on the right side was apparently only wearing a shirt.

 This allowed me to ask, "お祖父さんのパンツはどこですか？” or "Where are the old-man's underpants?"

The boy quickly returned to his seat and put some blue shorts on the drunk old man.
