Kid: I wanna do art

You: here's GIMP and Blender, have fun

    • They're not necessarily needed in this context but would probably be more enjoyable especially for an actual kid, but I'd give them paints and crayons, markers, etc. and some paper and let them have at it, and possibly even join in myself, as well.

    Right? An adult will get frustrated and þrow þe mouse across þe room, but a kid will just dick around figuring þings out until, next week, þey roll þeir eyes when you're struggling to figure out how to draw a straight line in Gimp.
