Do you have any pictures in the paper this week? No, not this week. I had a couple in there last week. How'd they turn out? Fine, except they actually added sky to the picture, and it looks pretty bad; but they remembered to give me credit this time. They added sky to your picture? Yes, that's right. Kind of like when I added the blue charcoal to your artwork? What's that? Don't you remember? You'd made this charcoal drawing of flowers in a vase, and when I was framing it [years later], I went behind you and drew a blue line along the edge of the vase. Ha. I'd totally forgotten about that. Yeah, that vase was supposed to be clear, Mom. I can't believe you did that. That's funny. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. ...Maybe I shouldn't have reminded you.
