Drawins'

So I was being silly earlier and told Daniel he needed to memorize my face through touch in case he ever went blind. Somehow this turned into me telling him he had to draw my image from memory with his eyes closed (or in reality, just without his glasses on because he's basically blind anyway). The rest is history. He seemed to get progressively worse. He was really embarrassed so I let him draw one with this glasses on. This made me laugh too much not to share.
