Newsie Parents (Modern)

Painting

Main kid for this story : Jordan

Age : 4

Jordan fell onto his couch after kindergarten. He was bored. Really, really bored, and all his friends were busy.

The twins, Maisie and Andrew, were at swimming, Perl was going out for dinner, Rebecca was helping her parents and at the dance studio, Ben was grounded , Corey was at the Higgins, playing with Maria and Dan and Sky were at Coney Island .

(Where's Julie, you ask? Well I'm gonna explain that in later chapters 😏😉)

"What's this?" Jack came into his the room. He was wearing his painting apron, holding some brushes " A Kelly looking sad? What happened to you?"

"I'm bored and no one can play with me" Jordan puffed as he kicked his shoes off. Jack laughed before thinking "How about you help daddy paint?"

(Yes I used the word "daddy". Such it. These are children. )

Jordan shook his head "That's boring"

Jack, without showing, was a little offended. He then put his hands on his hips "Oh really?"

"It's just trees,  people, the beach, and more trees"

"Not all art is like that" Jack reached his hand out "Come on. I'll show you"

----------

Jordan had to wait a moment before entering the art room. When he entered Jack had lots of things covered in paper, so it wouldn't get ruined, then there was a big canvas on the floor.

"Come over here" Jack put an apron on Jordan. It was very, very, big on him but cute all together. 
Jack then got a tub of paint and explain "We're going to paint this, do you know what it's called?"

"A....carvas?"

"Canvas...but very close" Jack laughed before splatting a bright pink onto the canvas. No rules, no structure, just splatted it on.

Jordan laughed. Soon Jack was encouraging him to make mess to create some art.

Jordan stroked some yellow onto it, then found the blue paint. He laughed as he grabbed the bucket. It was heavy but he managed it.

"Wait. Wait. Wait"

"But I want to use the blue!"

"Not the whole thing"

After pouring some paint into a cup Jordan contiued painting.

"Hey, Jordan" Jordan looked to his dad. Jack smiled holding the brush "You have something on your nose"

He stroked the brush onto the tip of his nose. Causing the young boy to giggle. This might've caused a paint war however......

--

"Now we need to leave our mark" Jordan concluded looking at the masterpiece. An explosion of colour and brightness.

Jack and him painted their hands and then printed their hand prints onto the artwork.

"So you think art is fun now?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The art room door opened

"Jack....Kelly.....What have you done?" Katherine said in a stern vocie looking at the state of the room and child. Paint everywhere, almost as if they made a paint bomb.

Corey was just laughing his head off. He even asked if he could join.

"It's family bonding, Kath"

Jack laughed putting his hands up, hoping he wasn't in trouble.

"You need a bath"

"Go on Jordan"

"You too Mr Kelly"

------''

After the bath Jordan went to see his dad. In was in the art room, as usual, and Jordan's jaw dropped seeing the art peice.

It was a big picture of space. The sun beaming down onto the earth.

"Dad"

"Yes?" Jack turned from his picture.

"Can I paint again?"

"Sure. But not tonight"

Jordan smiled and hugged his dad before he went to bed.

"That's how Jordan got into art"

"Daddddddd"
