I was in third grade at the time. When it came to ‘handiwork’ such as art and needlework, it would be an understatement to say I’m not exactly ‘naturally gifted’.
It was animal day during art class. As homework, the teacher assigned a particular animal for each of us and luck would have it, I got assigned to draw a ‘goat’. I remember being quite pleased, and thought to myself ‘this would be easy’.
As soon as I got home, I spent the entire afternoon, diligently completing my work of art. After applying the finishing touches, I rushed to my mom to show her my efforts. The remark that followed continues to haunt me to this very day.
“Oh good job son, that’s a really nice elephant”!
