An Equal?

A while back we were talking to some friends about a man they knew. He was a college football coach and was bigger than life to his family. When his five year old daughter drew a picture of their family, her dad was a bright sunshine figure that took up the whole page. That one picture told a lot about their family.

I would love to know what a psychologist would say about this picture that Reese drew of our family. I think it is very telling as to what she thinks her role is in our family. I think she truly believes she is my equal. She is always throwing out, “Why do you get to do that and I don’t?”. Don’t most kids save that for when they are older?  Oh how I love her and her sassiness.
