Our kids often startle us with their feats of memory. A few weeks, ago, our oldest, for example, recalled the color of the arm band he had to wear at the swimming pool when we went there a year ago. Obviously, it left a big impression on him.
Today's artwork is an example of that prodigious child memory. We showed our kids the Tim Conway film "Dorf and the First Games of Mount Olympus" more than a year ago, and just this weekend our daughter drew this of Dorf, imaginging himself falling down the hill with his barbells, as he did in the movie. I don't remember that part of the movie. They do. They've seen it one. I've seen it once. Again, the kid memory triumphs. But then again I am an adult, and thus have memories shaped like that of Homer Simpson:
