"Any ideas for today?"
"I just got one," he said lying, still looking around the room for an idea. After a few moments, he said, "You know, instead of the Starbucks thing, the Jamba Juice thing." We also have a clear Jamba Juice straw-cup similar to the clear Starbucks straw-cup he used as inspiration yesterday to suggest the Starbucks Mermaid.
"I've already done Jamba Juice," I reminded him.
"You have?"
"Yeah."
I showed him the picture. "Ooh, I like it," he said.
I could tell he wasn't in the mood to brainstorm so I made my own suggestion, "How about the Titanic?"
"Yeah!" he exclaimed. He's been fascinated by the Titanic from the very first time he heard the story. He's watched a ton of YouTube videos about it. I'm kind of surprised he's never suggested that I draw it. He took a long while picking one, but eventually we settled on this shot of the Titanic sinking.
He finished his breakfast, brushed his teeth, and then as if he suddenly remembered what I was drawing, he ran around the corner shouting, "I want to see! I want to see!" He studied the picture and the drawing. "What are all those dots?"

"Debris."
"What's debris?"
"You know, pieces of the ship and ash and stuff."
"You know, pieces of the ship and ash and stuff."
"Oh, ash!"
"Yup."
"Cool. The Titanic's pretty cool Daddy," he said gleefully. I always feel somewhat sad thinking about the Titanic, but I had to agree with him. The Titanic's pretty cool.
