Illustration Friday: "Detective"

Here is my tribute to the ultimate detective - Mothers. I was always amazed at what my Mom knew and the mysteries she could solve (who took the..? who broke the..? etc). Sometimes the clues aren't hard to catch - like The Case of The Muddy Footprints pictured here. Other times they are real puzzlers. But moms are rarely stumped. There are many joys to being a parent but, for me, one of them is certainly hearing that plaintive cry from your child "Mom - how did you KNOW that?!" Don't they realize? We know all.
