“It annoys me to feel so weak,” I told my son over the phone. “So if I had to just sit, I decided to do a small 8 x 6 inch painting.”
“Hmmm” son said. “What did you paint?”
“A duck in acrylic paint,” I announced. I am a huge fan of oil paints so this is news of momentous note.
“Acrylic rocks!” he exclaimed in excitement.
“Acrylic paint is annoying,” I responded.
“Acrylic is the best stuff,” son enthused.
“I found painting with acrylic to be like painting my skin with needle pin pricks,” I declared. “I should have painted with my oil paints.”
“I’m telling you Mom, Acrylic is the da bomb!” son said.
“Grrmummblbllleeee. Well the duck didn’t turn out too badly. I guess,” I said. “And if I varnish it tomorrow, it’ll be ready in time for the NFAC ( Nibblefest Art Contest ) on ebay.”

And the conversation then turned another corner.
