Meghan's Unicorn

So after watching The Last Unicorn, Meghan decided she wanted to draw one.  I talked her through it.

"Draw a head.  Now a body.  Give him four legs.  And a horn.  Good.  Now some eyes and a smile. Give him some ears."

And here is the end result.

For those who have trouble seeing the green unicorn, here is my recreations.

It was pretty good.  I liked how her unicorn had puppy ears.

But this isn't the end of the story.

Several days later she was drawing unicorns while we were otherwise occupied.  I glanced over. 

The distilled essence of a unicorn.

"Look at my unicorn, Mom!  He has a baby unicorn."

"Meghan, where is his head?" I asked without thinking.  She looked at it a moment.

"Oh."

"It's a beautiful unicorn," I corrected myself.

I went back to what I was doing, feeling a bit guilty for pointing out her mistake. A few minutes later I returned to find this.

"It's a spider, Mom."

 I was careful not to mention that the spider had more than eight legs.

It only got better from there.

 "It's a spider in his web! In his cocoon!  And he's hugging the baby unicorn."

What a way to improvise.
