Art

To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.

~ Kurt Vonnegut

Today is Maddie's birthday. She's an artist. She does ceramics. I bet when people don't like your art it feels like a Dalmatian chewed up your teddy bear. But people who criticize our work are probably just jealous. 

Also, Dalmatians need a LOT of physical activity so it probably chewed up that teddy bear just because it was bored. If a critic gave undue criticism just because they were bored, well that's not right. Someone should take that critic for a run or to play in the park so that they will be better behaved in the future.
