Phoebe's family tree

Kids deserve more credit than we give them. Take this drawing by Phoebe, for example. She was asked to draw a picture of her family at school, and look at this family tree she came up with.

Phoebe and her two siblings are on the bottom. Dad and I are in the middle. I love the long blonde hair and blue eyes she gave me, but Dad's looking a little thin on top and not too happy. But who's the blue-eyed, bushy-haired person who looks like they're sitting on my head?

Turns out it's the great grandmother after whom our little Phoebe was named - the centenarian Mary Phoebe Enders. Even though she's only met Grandma Phoebe a handful of times, she has an image of her in the highest position in our family. Without a single lecture (yeah right, mom!) she's able to understand her roots. Now if we could just get a few birds and bugs in the picture!
