Giraffe and me

Let's draw animals, shall we?

This was how we got started a drawing competition among our friends. There were 3 of us. Two fathers and one mother. We all have one thing in common. We all have a child and need to practice drawing animals to appeal to the child. In other words, we all did have a motivation.

Tigers, koalas, dogs, elephants. We showed our piece of work to each other after drawing. Then someone said, "Let's draw a giraffe!" and so did we. I noticed that the other father had drawn a giraffe's angle just like an antenna sticking into an alien's head. I jeered at it and said, "There is no such thing in a giraffe." He insisted that he was telling the truth and promised me to send a proof the next day.

As promised, he sent me a picutre of the proof, which really made me laugh. He sent me a giraffe's image (the above picture), telling me that he had searched for it with Google and picked the best example. I searched for a giraffe picture with Google but no such image came up on the 1st page, not even on the 2nd and 3rd. Imagining the time and efforts he has spent on to choose the best laughable picture, I just could not help myself laughing. He has a really good sense of humor. The picture made my whole that day really happy.

Hi. I know giraffes have a sort of small horns, but not like ones in the picture!! I laughed my head off to see the pic! Your friend managed to find the funniest (silliest? sorry:p)) pic I guess. At first I didn't recognise it was a giraffe...ha ha ha. Well, anyway, how did your giraffe drawing go?

Hi Anima.

I am glad to receive your comment. I still don't know where my friend found the giraffe picture on the internet, but I just loved it.

My giraffe drawing was approved by the others as a total failure. The other two guys laughed at it and said, "That is the Nessie which is believed to live in the Loch Ness, or a dinosaur!"

Their kindest words never let me down. I was proud of myself to provide them food for laughter.
