This is so funny to me for some reason. Kids are so silly, and it's delightful.
I think that perhaps the reason why I find this so endearing is that it's not a trait exclusive to kids — adults can be (and are, in our hearts) just as silly, we've just learned to mask it
My SO teaches art to kids and just confirmed she does this with markers too. 👍
