This week’s photo prompt is provided by S. Writings. Thank you S. Writings!
My wife is one of those artists who wants to shock people. She is very good at the art, but, and there is always a but in these situations, I have to say, It is not shocking but, instead, it is too funny for words.
So, to stop her being disappointed by those critics, I have to make sure that she does not believe her art has shocked me. I have got very good at pretending to carry on reading the paper and not even batting an eyelid. It takes a lot of work. Trust me.
Then along came the day that I cracked. I came home one day from a busy day at work to discover two cows in front of my house. They were painted like they were going to some Mardi Gras and, before I could speak to myself about schooling my reaction, I burst out laughing.
