Have a Scorpion

Seriously, I have nothing written for this morning. So, have a picture of a scorpion as depicted by Firstborn:
I have, obviously, removed his actual name, and replaced it with "Firstborn". (I have Photoshop, I can do that.) So you can easily see that when I'm not using a keyboard, my handwriting is nearly indistinguishable from that of a First-Grader.

Update: So, this isn't actually drawn by Firstborn. (I thought it looked a little too neat, but he's surprised me before...) It was drawn for him by one of his friends. The point about my handwriting still stands, though.

    I was worried you had a pet scorpion! Granted this is the woman who has pet snakes... and yes, I still have the heebie-jeebies when it comes to inverts. Go figure.

    Nope. Though I was briefly tempted by the prospect of a vinegarroon, because having a pet that actually sprays acid has a certain badassitude to it.

    In all fairness, Firstborn has particularly good first-grade handwriting. Significantly better than my fifteen-year-old brother. (I think whether it's better than mine is a matter of personal taste. I don't think my way of writing "SCORPIO" would be better or worse on a more objective readability scale, but it would be somewhat different.)

    He also has pretty good drawing skills, at least for the focus of the picture.

    Annnd, um, oops. Turns out it's not his picture, but a picture one of his friends drew for him. So, you know, it's time for me to look embarrassed and update the post.
