Mr. Mom

Top pic:

*SMASH*
Zaya: *age 2* DADDY!!!
Zaune: *age 5* TATTLE TALE!!! (what I wish I wrote: "Shut up Zaya!" or "Don't listen to her! She's lying!")
Zim: *sigh* Maybe I should stay out of this one...

Bottom pic:

Zim: What's wrong sweetheart?
Zaya: *age 14* I'm the shortest kid in the entire high school!

This was drawn in the same school agenda as the Sage pic (except this was done in '06)...only I actually thought to outline it and re-color this one. I got inspired to redo it when I found Lonestar's "Mr. Mom" song on project playlist. That was the song that inspired me to draw it in the first place. It's one of the few country songs I love. http://www.lyricsdomain.com/12/lonestar/mr_mom.html

Don't worry, Zim and Dana dated WAY more than just two weeks before getting married and settling down...it was more like several years. I did start writing a story about this called Ripple in the Current, but I haven't touched it since I graduated. Anyway, they end up having two kids, both of which are based off of my brother and me when we were younger...though I didn't realize the similarities for a while. I was the troublemaker and I still am! :D

When Zaya is 1 and Zaune 4, Dana is assigned to planet Yama and has to leave to invade it and stuff. Zim is left to watch the kids (hehe) and try to live up to their "mommy" expectations (like singing songs the "way mommy does", etc.) which he finds overwhelming at first, but gets better at it. In the above pic, he was making "macky cheese" and caused it to over boil. I've actually done that once, except it happened long after this pic was made lol. Oh yeah, Dana had gotten so used to living on Earth that when they moved to Irk, she insisted that they have regular appliances. Uh...yeah.

In the bottom pic, Dana has been back for many years now. Zaya, who has inherited Zim's shortness, has been made fun of all her life for being the shortest kid (Just like me!^^). She goes to Dana for help, only to be told that Zim would have much more experience in that area. When Zaune becomes Tallest, he tells Zaya's classmates to leave her alone basically. But he's smart enough to not use her name or mention the word 'sister'. Bwahaha!

~*Self-Critique*~

The first pic is my favorite. I hate Zaya's head and the choice of colors I used on her...she be clashing with the wall lol. And I have no idea why there's a random pic of Zaune in Zim and Dana's lab, but he be my love. <3
