this is ridiculous and i got bored.

Madeline.

Madeline sits at a table next to a young boy. Madeline uses her left arm to hold down the paper while her right hand grasps a large thick orange marker with her thumb, index and middle finger. She periodically brushes the paper with her left hand with a broad sweeping motion. Her right hand makes long strokes across the paper followed by rapid short strokes. She palm grips the marker in her right hand and using her left hand fingers grips the pen cap and places it over the markers tip. The orange marker is placed in a cup full of other markers and a blue marker is now chosen. With slow careful motions the marker is dragged across the top of the paper, her left arm still holding the paper down and in place. Next to her, the boy has palm grasped his marker and is stamping his marker up and down. Madeline adjusts her lower body and moves her chair slightly forward closer to the table. She pauses her hand movements and flips the paper revealing a paper full of solid orange areas. She has a stack of four papers under her left arm, including the one she is using currently. A teacher approaches the table and Madeline stops her hands once again and lifts her head to look at the teacher. The teacher takes a seat next to Madeline and reaches for the cup of markers. Her fingers fumble and the cup is knocked on its side. Madeline�s head is directed toward the teacher and to the teacher�s hands as they right the cup. Madeline replaces her purple marker back into the cup and removes the orange marker once more. Her head and eyes return to her paper under her arm. She once again full handedly grabs the marker with her right hand and with her left fingers remove the markers cap. The cap is set aside away from her paper and she begins to trace out shapes again. The teacher stands up and leaves the table and Madeline turns her head and proceeds to stand, sliding her chair backwards. She stands slightly stooped, half standing half still sitting. Madeline turns back around toward her drawing and sits back down, using both hands to lift and slide her chair closer to the table. She picks up her marker with her right thumb, index and middle finger and makes rapid jerking strokes across her paper. She stops. She scratches her face with her left hand using all of her fingers lined up in a row and curling them down over her nose. Teacher number two takes a seat next to Madeline. Madeline�s watches teacher number two and talks to her. Madeline returns her attention to the paper and continues to draw even after the other boy leaves the table. Teacher number three arrives at the table while teacher number two leaves and Madeline responds by looking at her. She places the marker down on the table and with both hands lifts the sheet into the air in front of her face just below her eyes to show teacher number three. A large orange fish is what she has drawn. The fish shape is outlined boldly with purple whereas the inside is filled with solid orange. A girl in pink clothing comes to the table and leans over to see what Madeline has drawn. Teacher number three and the girl in pink speak with Madeline. Madeline returns her focus back to her paper, using her left hand to hold the marker cap and bringing it toward her right hand to cap the marker. She puts in back into the cup and removes a yellow marker. Madeline puts down the marker and with her left hand removes her large hat from her head and sets it on the table. Her right hand reaches for something under the table. Teacher number three takes hat from table and sets it on floor. Madeline glances at her hat and then slides her chair backwards and improves her reach under the table. She gets down on hands and knees and crawls under table several inches and then backs out. In her left hand fingers is a small marker cap. She uses both hands to slide her chair forward again and grasps hat and replaces it on her head.
