I asked Rye to teach me how to draw a circle, but I pretended that I didn't know what a circle was.


Here is our conversation:


Me: Teach me how to draw a circle. Rye: Draw a round line.

I drew this:

ree







Rye: Connect the round line.

I drew this:

ree









Rye: Don't make it bobby. No in-bobs.

I drew this:

ree






Rye: It's an oval.....who cares?


[A day passes.]


Rye: Smush the oval in.

I drew this:

ree








Rye: No ovalness. The "up-down length" can't be closer than the "side-side" length.


I drew this:

ree









(I love this conversation. He taught me how to draw a circle without knowing the word radius!)
