DAD: So Morgan is telling me you write stuff I’m not supposed to read.
ME: No, you can totally read it, it’s just heavy on the V word
DAD: Huh?
ME: Vagina…
STEPMOTHER: It’s not that bad, it’s like a personae she’s created (Yeah Jo, whatever you need to believe…)
DAD: [gulping wine with impunity] Have you read her blog? [he points to a sketch of a boat on the wall…. FYI Dad, you can totally leave that one to my Brother… I’m still after the Warhols]
ME: Whose?
DAD: Her! [he points as if I’m the slow child] She’s a performance artist.
ME: I don’t read blogs from performance artists unless I’m there to mock them.
I think we all realize that the mocking of performance artists is work easily accomplished.
