Hey, I've got a guy too! His name is Don and he is awesome.
Art is in the eye of the beholder.
I didn't consider myself to be creative for along time. Then there was this red pill and a rabbit hole....
Most kids in my experience love some form of art. There's always edible art. When my D's were little they loved to make and decorate cookies and the kitchen...;)
I swear that my skills with a pastry bag have come in sooo handy in ways you wouldn't have thought. Like triple glazing windows. Perhaps I just have an odd take on the world.
Once when I was in NYC, my friend and mentor decided that I had been there too long without taking in the more cultured side of the city.
So we went to the Metropolitan Musem of Art. I was pretty cultured prior to this. Reubens, Rafeal all the greats. Saw some amazing works.
Then we went downstairs to the 'modern' art.
And on one wall...
12 frameless canvasses. Each one was one color. Nothing more. Some...advant guard modernist had basically hung up a color palate. Now I am all for a good scam...but this? Donated to the Museum at a cost of: $50,000.
Seriously?
Can you imagine this shmuck at a dinner party?
"I am almost done with "Girl Eating an Apple" but I am torn between the Periwinkle or the Mauve for the final frame. It is such a conundrum."
That was over 10 years ago and it still rises my gall, so you can only imagine how I reacted in the museum.
My friend quickly esourted me outside, before the nice security guards could. He listen to me rant for the next 10 minutes, and then he asked:
"Art is supposed to evoke emotion, right Jack?"
I shut up.
Missions accomplished.

Well it appears as though my conversation with her last night actually got through to her on some level??.....Maybe, brb I gotta go flip my three sided coin.
I do have plans to take her to my grandpa's later in the day.
No matter what my answer is...I lose.
Yes = I'm still here putting up with your BS and allowing you to play your games.
No = Turns me into a selfish jerk who is keeping her daughter from her.
