Everyone thinks her kid is the best – the smartest, the cutest, the most talented, etc. Well, obviously, everyone’s kid is not the best – that’s not even logical. Most kids are average (hence the word average), and there’s nothing wrong with that. If everyone were exceptional, exceptional would become average, and that would throw everything out of whack. So, most children are average, despite what their parents may believe, and a select few are exceptional.
Of course, my son is one of those exceptional few, as I will demonstrate by sharing his most recent artistic masterpiece. Before I unveil the evidence of his artistic genius, however, I would like to elaborate on exactly how this particular work highlights a level of achievement far beyond his years.
Most artists take years to perfect replicating the human form. And even then, it takes a mature artistic soul to take on a nude image. My five-year-old prodigy not only doesn’t hesitate to tackle challenging subjects, but he also captures this subject matter with startling mastery. He is clearly an exceptional artist.
Please ponder on the following image, and while considering the beauty of the work, remember it was produced by a mere five-year-old boy:

Oops! Wrong one. Here’s Maxwell’s equally impressive rendering of the male body:
Max handed this to us last night and said, “Here’s a random picture of me without underwear.” Very strange kid.
See? I told you he was an exceptional child. Don’t you wish your kid had art skills like that?
