We had just finished an afternoon hike, and looked for a place to eat and happened upon a nice Greek restaurant. The restaurant was almost empty save for a young couple sitting at the table next to us. The waitress brought out some paper and colored pencils for the boy and his little brother to draw on. The boy wanted a picture of himself, so I drew him his head, torso, arms, hands. I started to copy the lettering that was on his shirt onto his visage on paper, but the boy grabbed the pencil and demanded that he write his own name. So I handed the pencil and the half-finished image to the boy. He wrote in his name and showed it to me proudly.

I said "very nice, but where's your legs?". The boy looked at it and drew a hump under his shirt, with two lines sticking out. "What is that I asked him?"

The boy started to narrate as his finished the drawing -- "there's my butt" he said pointing to the hump under his torso.
