    Yes, that’s what I’m saying. The one on the right was written by the five year old, by his own hand (and honestly looks a bit too nice for him, too, but as a cartoonist she does have to make it reasonably legible for the audience). The one on the left, conversely, was transcribed by the two-year-old’s teacher, during an interview wherein she asked him questions and wrote his answers down. The “see me” is a message for the parent, not the student.

    Edit: I do think that the placement of the kids in the bottom panels does confuse this a bit. The younger kid is on the mom’s left, so it’s in the first panel; but then we switch to the other perspective and see them from a third person viewpoint where he appears on the right side of the frame (even though he’s still on his mom’s left).
