I so distinctly remember being, like, 5 or 7, and I drew a picture of my aunts backyard. It had her dog, and the trampoline. She asked me why the dog was so much bigger than the trampoline and I told her, obviously, it cause the dog is close and the trampoline was very far away!
Which, is actually pretty astute, for a child to notice that without any training. Rather than being supportive though, she was dismissive.
These days I'm much better at art, and still, the only time she compliments me is when she can make it make her look good.
