So my mom cleaned out the basement, finding my old religion books. They were filled with photographs of kids, most of which I had doodled glasses or a necklace or braces on. But in fourth grade, my teacher was all, “You can’t doodle in your religion book! That’s disrespectful!” I dutifully obeyed. Instead of doodling, I named them, writing the name on their foreheads or shirts. 
Here’s the list from my fourth grade book. What do you think?
