Art Criticism

Ms Z and I were driving over to Baba's house on a Tuesday morning. (In between the end of summer camp and the beginning of the fall school year). As we were passing a vacant lot at around 3rd and H St, she says, "What is that sculpture?"

I paused for a second, and thinking I hadn't heard her correctly said, "What?"

"What was that chair on a stick?"

"No...What did you say before that?"

"What was the chair on a stick?"

"But what was the word you used before?"

Unsure silence...

Me: "Scu..."

"Sculpture?"

"That's exactly what it is!"

"But what is it?"

Ladies and gentlemen, my 2 3/4 year old.
