The other day my son wanted to draw so, in part for fun, in part to help him focus, in part to help him feel like I was playing with him and not just watching him, I got out a piece of paper and began to draw too. Jospeh (being two) started scribbling everywhere, and said he was drawing a cave. (Why a cave, I don't know.) So I began doodling and -- given my recent fooling around with Chinese -- what I doodled were a couple of Chinese characters:
Joseph looked over. "Why are you drawing a computer," he asked, "and not a cave?"
So I stopped drawing characters and began drawing a cave.
But I really liked the idea that those two represented a computer. Not a bad interpretation, really.
