Mother Is At Me Again
Ever since I brought that painting home and I told her it was worth all that money, Mother has been laughing at me. She says that I "have exurberant delusions of grandeur." I reply that for $1.50 I can be as delusional as I want, cause whatever I get is virutually all pure profit. Even if it isn't 20K of profit and only a coupla hundred or so. Guess my 911 is going to have to sit awhile longer though.

Wait until you take it out of the frame and find a "Jackson Pollock" behind it.... then Mother will not be laughing...

if it's an original 'dogs playing poker' on velvet, it could be worth as much as $4.00
more that doubling you initial investment - not bad

You are an inspiration to us all!
Does Mother preach 'square-breathing'? Good for hyperventilation.

I know there's a "Whistler's Mother" but is there a "Tabs' Mother"? Maybe done by. . . I dunno. . . H.R. Geiger or someone?

Mother used to pose for Picasso and he painted her just the way she was.

It will be ok Norman... just take some time to relax, and maybe turn the hotel sign off for a few days so no one stops in.
You and mother will get it worked out. Just like you always do. |
