My wife always put an ‘H’ on the hardboiled eggs with a pencil to make sure they aren’t confused with the raw. When my daughter was in elementary school, they were one of her favorite snacks. So when I’d make them, instead of the ‘H’ I’d draw a little something. I’m not any great artist, but I’d draw a butterfly or a cat or some silly face. I didn’t realize for ages that they apparently became a sensation at school and the other kids always wanted to see the day’s egg.
That’s a lovely story and a lovely memory for both of you
It’s funny, after she told me it kind of felt like a pressure/obligation - I sort of wished I didn’t know.
A hobby turned into a job
Yeah, pretty much that

On the shell, and pencils use graphite - they haven’t used lead for ages.
I can’t imagine trying to write on an egg itself with either kind of pencil.
Pencils have actually never contained lead. People in the 1500s just thought graphite was lead.
Huh, interesting
took more photos before the ban

Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling banana, but didn’t know how you stopped. - STP
Change to another fruit then. Paint watermelons.
I wanna see a kindergartener pull up to snack time with a whole ass watermelon
There are small softball sized watermelons too
But you still need a pretty decent knife to cut into it. Which a kindergartner shouldn’t have at school. Or they could bash it on the table till it breaks open I guess. I’m sure the teachers and janitors will love that.
Naturally, pack a big knife with the melon. The teacher will change tune pretty quick if the kid has a knife.
That’s a good point. Never just bring a watermelon to a kindergarten knife fight.
A guy in my highschool did that as a joke
Brought a watermelon in his bag, busted it out at lunch and just stabbed it with a spoon, cracked it open, and started scooping it onto a lunch tray.
The closest teacher sent him to the office, threw away the watermelon and they tried to give him detention, but I guess a parent called the school and yelled at the principal for being ridiculous.
When I worked in a produce department when I was a teen, there was a brand of watermelon called “Senior Sandia” (Mister Watermelon). So when we got that brand in I’d usually cut out a face on one like a friendly pumpkin and put him on display. Sometimes he’d get a hat n shit if I had one handy. My boss was just confused at these displays until I told pointed out the brand. I was then banned from giving Mister Watermelon the life he deserved.
What kind of messages does this send to your son.
Obey, when authority says to prevent art?
You’re an adult, and you’re still conditioned to obey teachers?
Get good and defy the bad rule. Keep making art all the harder now that it’s under attack.
This would be even worse if this were happening in USA, with the much touted first amendment, or anywhere that reccognises article 10 of the human rights convention.
Enjoys the compliment of the effect the art has, but still seems resolved to the ban. :/
Empathy for the teacher. It’s hard to be a teacher today and anything that pulls kids into the crazy space will sometimes encourage disrespect and bad behavior.
Not really about obeying the teacher. About empathy for your fellow human working. Teachers aren’t our bitch to abuse and say “fuck you” to, they probably are one demographic who needs the most help in the US right now
What can you use to draw on a banana skin?
Doesn’t look like chalk.
Probably paint pens like Poscas.
Oil pastel maybe? Would work if you plastic wrap it after.
Fear No Art
Who has time for this?
Time for what? Fun? Creativity? Bonding with your child?
The time spent browsing the internet could be spent doing those things, and everyone here clearly has time to browse the internet therefore has time to draw on a banana.
I didn’t have kids so I’d have more time to browse the Internet.
For painting bananas. I spend 3-5 hours most days actively interacting and bonding with my children across a variety of subjects - homework, music, their hobbies. An uninterrupted hour of personal time to spend as I wish outside of work, children, keeping house, eating and sleeping is frankly a luxury I rarely get.
My “internet time” tends to coincide with my toiletry habits, I’m not sure this is an ideal time to prepare bananas.
Somebody with their priorities straight.
I hesitate to even mention the hobby rabbit holes I’ve gone down thanks to having just one kid.
The insinuation here being if I don’t paint bananas I don’t have my priorities straight?
I’m busy spending my time doing stuff with my kids, working, fighting a losing battle to keep the house in any kind of respectable state, eating, sleeping and trying to squeeze in some time with my partner. Regular dedicated time for hobbies is something I’d like, you sound pretty lucky in that regard.
Please stay nice
I’m genuinely curious what you feel isn’t nice about my comment?
It’s a bit of a Main Character Syndrome thing to do.
Not if they were just doing cute art for the kid. That’s just doing fun things. I doubt she did the art just so her child could show it off to other 6 year olds or get her famous. Especially since she doesn’t have other photos or a dedicated insta to it or anything.
You’re right. She didn’t take photos to post online for clout and that’s why we don’t even know this happened.
Uh huh. So you ignored the “other” and dedicated part to just zero in on any photos? I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but you appear to be very intentionally missing my point.
