Sometimes teaching elementary students
simply makes me laugh. Earlier this week, a 5th grade girl sidled up to me with her hand in her jacket pocket. She gave me a sly look, then took
her hand out of her pocket. She was holding a box of Milk Duds (widely
known among my students to be my favorite candy) and several photographs
of her pets. She proposed a trade. I draw her pets all in one picture
and I get the Milk Duds. Ha! I bet none of you have been paid in Milk Duds for your art! I know all of my art school friends from college will be jealous now.
But paid nevertheless!! I seem to wind up working for free quite a bit of the time.:D
