Boy draws a butternut squash and the hilarious result leaves his mum red-faced

A red-faced mum has shared her son's hilarious attempt at drawing an butternut squash but ending up with something a little ruder.

Emily Clarkson, 31, said that her five-year-old son Mylo had tried to draw the vegetable after she left it out in the kitchen one weekend.

The teaching assistant from Leeds, West Yorkshire, said she was left in hysterics when she saw that picture resembled like a willy.

She said: "He just went quiet one morning while he was doodling and then I asked him what he was drawing.

"He said he had seen a butternut squash in the kitchen and had drawn it.

"He showed it to me and I tried my hardest to not laugh when I saw what it was.

"I said it was the best butternut squash I had ever seen.

"I asked him why there were lines and dots on the picture and he said he had drawn the butternut squash before and after it had been cut open.

"He was really very proud of it.

"He looked at it and said he thought it looked like two fighter jets. I said it was amazing and we would keep it."

Emily added that Mylo was especially proud of his drawing.

She said: "I took a picture of him, he said it was the best picture he had ever done.

"He keeps it in his room and shows it to people whenever he can.

"We're absolutely going to keep the picture and maybe crack it when he's 18 and to embarrass him a bit."
