Back when we were homeschool nerds, The Brother used to spend massive quantities of time drawing things on the computer using Paint.

First he started drawing castles and theme park maps.  I am unsure if he made up the castles and theme parks, but no matter where he got the designs from, it’s still pretty funny.

Then he drew our vegetable garden.  Only when he drew this, he made everyone give the exact measurements of where they planted their vegetables so he could make his Paint version of our garden to scale.  It’s true.  (And we were all terrible gardeners, so most of those vegetables probably died; good thing he made a Paint drawing of it so we could remember where we planted them.)

He drew all kinds of crazy stuff, I guess, but the thing that stands out to me most is the time he drew a really detailed map of our house, barn and pastures, including cows.  The cows were the best part.

I guess the poor person searching for “a picture showing a cow’s head stuck under the fence and along comes a bull” must have inspired him, because he broke out the Paint and did it again.

I received this picture this morning via email, made by The Brother, of course.  It is amazing.

Please note how the cow’s head is truly stuck and turned sideways.  And I wouldn’t want to be messin’ with that bull; check out those pointy horns.

Thanks, The Brother.  I’m sure you’ve made someone’s day very happy.  (At least mine’s way improved now that I have seen this amazing picture.)

(Aside:  Once, using Paint I think, he took a picture of all four of us kids and swapped the boys and girls faces with one another and blended them all in somehow.  It actually looked like Mom and Dad had four really ugly kids…like Photoshop gone wrong before there was actually Photoshop.  It’s pretty much the best, most hilarious family picture I have ever seen.  Maybe if you’re all good and The Brother can find it and email it to me, I’ll post it on here.  It’ll give you a good laugh.)
