Artistic

9:00am. Wednesday. November 4, 2009.

Lanie: Mom, thanks for being supportive about my writing stuff.

Mom: Oh, well. You're welcome.

Lanie: Not all parents let their kids be artists.

Mom: I can't see you as a trades person Lanie.

Lanie: Right. But you guys always told me I could do or be anything.

Mom: Well, within limits now.

Lanie: Oh?

Mom: Just be able to pay your rent and eat.

Lanie: Fair enough.

Mom: And once the bills are paid, then you can be anything you want to be.

Lanie: I gotta work on the bill paying part right now.

Mom: Yes please.
