The Parent Newsletter Goes Out
That Friday, the email went out. Subject line: “Our Art Project: A Portrait of Mrs. Higgins (Viewer Discretion Advised).” She attached the scans of the funniest drawings, including “The Giant Nose,” “Mrs. Coffee,” and the hyper-realistic wrinkle map.
Within minutes, her inbox started pinging. The replies were instantaneous and filled with virtual laughter. Parents were replying with crying-laughing emojis, confessing they had spat out their drinks. One mom wrote, “I’m so sorry my son drew you as a square monster, but I haven’t laughed this hard in years.” The project was a hit.
