Reuben is inventive

Reuben has become very enthusiastic about drawing over the past couple of months.  Our house is awash with pictures, mostly showing monsters of various kinds, but the other day he came home from school with something a bit different, involving his teacher, Ms Cochrane.

Ms Cochrane smiled, unaware of the doom about to befall her...
Me: What's this one then, Reuben?
R: Ah, it's a prank for Ms C.  She sits on the chair there, and a cage falls down and traps her and then the conveyor belt takes her away and drops her in a pit of snakes.  Robot snakes!

Reuben does actually like his teacher (I think!), though he came home today and showed me a new design.  This one involved Ms C sitting on a whoopee cushion and being fired off into a rubbish dump... I wonder if she knows what ordeals Reuben's fertile imagination has been concocting for her?

    1. The inventiveness continues... the Ms Cochrane torture chamber v 1.2.2 now has the long-suffering teacher being shot with a tranquiliser dart and being squirted with poison.

      I'm pretty certain I didn't concoct trials of this nature for my teacher when I was 6. Maybe it's a boy thing. Guys - any views?
