'The Poodle Theory'

'The Poodle Theory' began in 1991 when Amy Fitzgerald (aged 6 at the time) was asked to draw a poodle for a class book project. As she was about to draw the dog, images of show poodles leapt around in her mind... but as she put her pencil to paper... unfortunately the poodle that was then drawn was actually really crap. Amy Fitzgerald then discovered that there was quite a significant gap between her current ability and her imagination. This gap was later named, 'The Poodle Theory', in honour of this event.

These days, 'Poodle Theories' are still as common. All around the world people, are experiencing the disappointments the 'poodle' leaves in its wake. You'll know you've been affected if you, too, have imagined something incredible in your mind and then tried to draw it, bake it, impress somebody with it... the list goes on.

If you have a 'Poodle Theory' story of your own, please dont hesitate to share it. Thats the only way it can truly be appreciated.
