While working from home the other day I had my work laptop out at the dining table with my six year old nearby. Since I’m usually hidden away in my home office, this quickly piqued his curiosity. I let him type out a short email I had to send, then opened up Paint and showed him how to use the mouse to select a color and draw.
The result is below. If you squint you can make out his attempt at a smiley face in the lower left corner:

Glad to see MS Paint live on in the next generation…
