I looked hard, but didn&#8217;t really see anything. So I asked him to show me where his head was. He sat and looked at the picture for a long, long time. I began to wonder if he was ignoring me. But finally, he looked up at me, scrunched up his little face, and said &quot;I don&#8217;t have a head!&quot; He then proceeded to draw a circle around some smaller circles and lines, and then explained to me that the circles were eyes and a nose, while the lines were &quot;all my mouths &#8211; I have a WOT of mouths!&quot; (wot=lot) After he drew the head, I could see the person. Head, eyes, nose, mouths (the four horizontal lines under the nose), legs, and arms (the green lines coming out of the knees).
