Watching a kid with no forearms use his elbows to sketch a football player. Ain't life something?
Image by Chris Devers
Seeing the teenager draw this football player totally made my day. He was missing his arms below the elbows, so he had to hold the chalk between his elbows, but it didn't seem to slow him down at all.
A stranger asked if she could get a photo. He asked if he should step out of the picture. She laughed & said she was hoping to get a photo of him doing the drawing. He agreed, but clearly thought the sketch itself was more interesting than the fact that he was drawing it with no hands or fingers to hold the chalk.
And of course, after she got her photo, several other admiring parents did the same, and he was pretty good-natured about it. Myself, I didn't get a photo of him doing the drawing, but here's the final result.
Brilliant :-)
