This House is on Fire

Hannah has been really into drawing and coloring lately.  Her 'supplies' are always close.
Tonight she drew a picture and when she was done she came bouncing over to show me what she had made.  "Look mom.  I made this.  It says what it is on back."


Translation: It was a picture of a house having a fire. By Hannah Parmley
 

Oh man.....WHAT?!
Me:  "Ummm Hannah, this is a picture of a house having a fire?"
Hannah (proudly): "Yes"
Me:  "Why on earth is this house having a fire.  Fires are horrible and for a house to have a fire is a very bad thing.  Why is this house on fire?"
Hannah: " MOM!  The house is not ON fire.  It's having a fire. Like in the backyard.  Like we do at the lake. They are all happy there."
Me:  "Oh.  Well this is beautiful."
Whew

I think it's good that these ideas are expressed in a picture... Great imagination! I wonder if the house likes s'mores...
