Mommy works at Home Depot and was selling a snow shovel.
Oh so that's what it means. I saw that on Fail Blog a while back without the caption. I just thought mom was a pole dancer and the child too young to know better.

Cute.

Maybe if you get one with a plastic blade. All the snow shovels we've ever owned have had grey metal blades.

Because you can't work up the courage to actually walk in?

Multiple fails, unless it is possible to really enjoy selling snow shovels.

Maybe it is if you stand on them naked and people hand you money.

I’m 26, write a lot better than that, and still draw stick figures (and probably not even as well as those up there).

This reeks of "grownup trying to emulate kid's drawings" all the way…

You may still choose to draw stick figures... but I'm sure you CAN draw something better.

Hmmm, marginally, perhaps.

Speaking from my own experience (I am married with children ) it is not the drawing of a very young child. If it wasn't done by an adult to look like a child's drawing—as has been suggested—I'm guessing it was done by a very lazy 10 year old, who just dashed it off to get the teacher's piece of pointless busywork out of the way.
