Rockstarism #390 – Seeing Squares

#390

This qualifies as both a 20 Seconds Of Your Life You Are Not Getting Back as well as a How To Avoid Being Captured By Aliens Conversation. You know, when How To Avoid Being Captured By Aliens (the book) is funny because the author DIDN’T mean for it to be… In this case, Rockstar appears to have been completely serious in this conversation…

Me: Hi darling, how was your day in school?

Rockstar: It was great! We’re preparing for our exhibition next week and I painted this cardboard square blue and red and then put foil on it!

Me: That’s interesting, what was it?

Rockstar: It was a cardboard square with foil on it. I painted it –

Me: Yes but what was it supposed to be?

Rockstar: <getting irritated> It IS a cardboard square –

Me: I KNOW it’s a cardboard square –

Rockstar: Then why are you asking? D-uh…

Me: I’m asking you what it’s SUPPOSED to be.

Rockstar: <same tone> I’m telling you it IS –

Me: You guys are not exhibiting a bunch of squares!

Rockstar: <majorly pissed> They ARE squares!

Me: Do you actually build a REAL volcano, or a REAL earthquake or..?

Rockstar: OH. OH. Oh ok, I’m so done with this conversation. <muttering> How come we’re not building REAL stuff.

Me: How could you possibly build – I still don’t know what you made in school!

Rockstar: <completely straight-faced> Squares. Painted squares <turns around><closes bathroom door gently and locks it to have his shower because he doesn’t want the Miss to barge in> 

And this is a random picture of the kids… and a long-suffering dog.
