Rachel's Work

Last December I attended a holiday celebration where all the children created cards to distribute to the grown-ups. The one I received featured a design of paint-dipped fingerprints on the outside, and inside two crayon-drawn girls with big smiles inside a red heart and the inscription "Joy to You and Me." It's signed "From Rachel." Rachel's name has been scratched out, and above it, also in crayon, "From Justin."

This is clearly Rachel's work. I even like the "fingerprints" touch on the cover of her card. It makes me wonder why anybody even bothers to claim someone else's work as their own, when the truth of the matter is ultimately so, so transparent.
