Illustration Friday: Undone

-
While I was doing this drawing for Illustration Friday, my daughter Carenza did this one......This reminds me of when my younger brother used to sneakily untie my shoe laces when I was watching TV, or if I was really engrossed in a programme, he'd tie them together!

I can definately relate to the first drawing. And the second that you're daughter did, only it was my Uncle that used to tie my laces together and put knots in my hair.
