I remember my mom saying "children should be seen and not heard". While I accepted the premise behind that I still thought it was funny. And of course, my sisters and my brother and I WERE heard. And in reading Amy Vanderbilt's rules (in the background of this illo) I see that we were darned well behaved children - something I knew anyway after seeing the crap my friends got away with - I do my best to have my children be the same - autism is a blessing in this case - rules are meant to be followed - so quite often my autistic son is the best mannered child at gatherings because he knows how to follow rules. Last night I attended a focus group for parents of older children with autism with regards to future programming - the meeting was great, the bed at the hotel they booked me was AMAZING and talk about - quiet OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, this "button-your-lip" illo is for Illustration Friday "Quiet".
Thanks to all who stop by and comment - much appreciated.

Your illos of adults are great, but you get the kids bang-on. Maybe because your kids are so expressive.
And, hey, your little one is also the most well-mannered kid on the block. I nearly wept with joy when he asked to be excused from the table.
