Adorable... And completely narcissistic.
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/03/24/tiny-art-director-a-1.html

People who don't have children sometimes complain that kids are narcissistic, sociopathic little terrors. But any parent will tell you that is an unfair assessment. They are also messy, noisy, whining, and germy.

That's why, as a parent, I loved Tiny Art Director, a new book by artist Bill Zeman. Based on Zeman's funny blog of the same name, Tiny Art Director contains images that Zeman's (now five-year-old) daughter Rosie asked him to paint. Rosie's briefs are hilarious: "A sick crocodile." "A bone dinosaur eating a baby." "A cat killing a rat." "A dragon sneaking up on a girl. She's picking flowers." Each image includes commentary from Rosie (aka, the tiny art director) that reveals her to be as fussy, capricious, self-contradictory, and bossy as many grown up art directors I know. (Click on the example above for a closer look at Rosie's style of criticism.)

2. The tech writing story boards I get back from the 'subject matter experts' look no different
Not that I'm looking to go upstream any time soon. I'm just saying, I think I can handle it.

3. Yeah thats probably true
Given how well you got back at those Nary the Flounder idiots who attacked your review. My goodness, that was some of the greatest snark I have EVER seen...
