Amanda draws a lot nowadays. Usually it's either people or letters (what she writes often looks like Hawaiian). Sometimes, the people she draws are crying, and have very obvious tears:

When I see these pictures, I usually think of the tests psychologists conduct on children who have had traumatic events in their lives. They often use drawings to try to coax the emotional states of the children out of them. I look at these drawings with people (usually it's herself) with copius tears flowing down their faces, and wonder what conculsions a psychologist might be tempted to draw from that.
It's just a phase, though. Already she's more often drawing "spiders" with dozens of legs than tearful people.
