I feel like I should be concerned about the emotional intelligence of today's youth, but at the same time I'm imagining this pokemon-esque abomination flying around and saying "Homander" before laser blasting the hell out of things and it makes me giggle as it probably did this child.

Honestly they probably didn't read or understand the entire prompt.

As somebody who was a kid once, it's more likely they ignored the prompt and just drew what they thought was funny instead, because kids don't often care about doing what's asked of them. This is absolutely something I would have drawn in first grade or something in response to a prompt like that. Minus the pop culture references because I wasn't allowed to watch much.

I absolutely would have lied about not understanding it to not get in trouble though.

I mean, I did say "didn't read". Lol
