mocking the bird
this saturday i took the 3 big kids with me while i ran some errands. my last run was at raffles place so we took the time to look at the many sculptures there. we stopped in front of this one for a while as we made out the abstract meaning. our answers really mirror-ed our personalities.
the creative AG - it looks like an open mouth (like with a flip-top head) with the tongue sticking out in a 'C' ... kinda making a monkey face
the stoic MB - i see nothing. yeah ... nothing ... just a bunch of metal. nothing.
the vehicular Bu - i see a ship ... a boat with the wind blowing in the sail.
me : i see 3 dead birds killed by an arrow
all : Mmooommmmmmm!!!!
me : hee ... but it's true. oh all right ... i see a dog getting a tummy scratch/ rub. how's that for a happy ending?
AG : better :)
and off to mac-ers we went for lunch.
