Put to the test.
When my twin sister got engaged, I drove home to Ohio to give my stamp of approval in person. That, and I promised her a long, long time ago that when / if he did propose, my engagement present to her would be a set of Cleveland Browns cornhole boards. Good thing I had less than 48 hours to make them and drive them 500 miles.
Either way, on the trip I went for one of my several visits to Meagen's school (teacher, not student..) to hang out with her. Her students are easily impressed... so it's pretty much an instant fan-base if you show any creativity. They asked me to prove that I could draw by drawing Spongebob on the dry-erase. Normally, no pressure, but who knows everything there is to know about a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea? This group of 20+ children. Then, when I'd finally finished, turns out it wasn't enough. "That's just a square with some pants on.." ......... They came up with a lightning round to my exam - Stitch. So, after a day of drawing cartoon characters, I'd proved my worth, and if I ever needed it I'm sure any one of those 8-9 year olds would write me a lovely letter of recommendation.
