Me now: What is this?
9 yo me: It’s a picture of Taffy and Laughing Jack I drew.
Me: No, you traced this
9 yo me: So?
Me now: So? That’s all you got. Do you know how long they spent drawing that. And you went to trace it and called it your own?
9 yo me: Well they won’t know
Me now: Ok, apparently you have 9 iq as well. Do you see how obvious this is? You can see where you traced.
9 yo me: yeah, but look at the shading-
Me now: I don’t care how “good” you made it! The fact you traced this is wrong. And now, I’m exposing you.
9 yo me: Well have you seen the pictures you draw? There trash!
Me now: Original trash!
