The nice thing about the Happy Family moving in a few weeks back is nothing seems to change their attitude.
You can come home and tell them, for example, "I lost my job today," and they just keep on smiling.
*Of course, you never know whether these smiles mask an inner pain, but the Happy Family doesn't really share any deep thoughts.
So I hired a neighborhood artist on the cheap and had the Happies sit for a formal painting. I figured now I'm hanging around here most of the time, we needed some new artwork, y'know?
What is it with artists? Even Contemporary Realists seem to want to delve into the psychological, to tease out inner meaning even where there may not be any.
Life is what happens to you
