“How about you keep a lion from tearing YOU into a jigsaw puzzle?” “That sounds hard…”

Uh oh, she’s beginning to look irritable. You wouldn’t like her when she’s irritable.

At least his negotiating skills are still indomitable.

That’s a lion he cannot refuse!

I’ve seen jigsaw puzzles that have taken days to complete.

Or a security blankie with a picture of lion on it that he can hide under. A large bottle of booze might be more effective at restoring confidence.

A Cowardly Lion?

Put it upside down so he’ll have to figure out which side has the picture on it.

Remember when Frank and Ernest (in their comic strip) were making jigsaw puzzles wrong by cutting the pieces first and then painting them?

That’s my speed, too. I hate puzzles.

Give him a Care Bears© coloring book and leave him be.

So… he gets a picture of Bert Lahr… ☺

Maybe the it should be a tiger – painted on a punching bag – with cross hairs on the eye – and “eye of the tiger on repeat” until he gets his confidence back.

My 2-year-old nephew can do 40-piece puzzles.

Trump’s cognizance test.

You’ll still have to show him an actual lion.
