Interesting Choices

This drawing came home from school yesterday. I thought, "How cute. Where did Simon see someone with missing teeth?" But I asked him to tell me about the drawing. "The little boy is outside so his cheeks are red. This is his nose. (obvious nose thing) These are his eyes. (obvious two little dot eyes) This is his hair. (squiggle lines on top, obvious) These are his ears. (obvious ear things) This is the snow. (lines at the bottom off to the side) This is his mouth. (barely noticeable big smile arc)" "What is this?" I asked pointing to the scribbles over the mouth. "His scarf." "Oh of course. And what is this?" I say, pointing to the thing I thought was a gap tooth smile. "This." Says Simon, pointing to the part of his face between the bottom of the nose and upper lip. Whic does indeed have a little center section just as drawn.
