Today, I offer a “tongue in cheek” look behind the scenes of my budding career as a sculptor.*
“Is that your first sculpture?” He asked.
That’s a bit of a cheeky question, I thought before replying: “Yes. Hard to believe, isn’t it? It’s so life-like. And look at those cheek bones!”
“Erm … yes. They are definitely … erm… cheeks.”
“I know! Next up: nudes!”
“Great. More cheeks. I can’t wait.”
Real life collided with the weekend challenges to produce these 71 cheeky words, so thanks for the great prompts to Sammi Scribbles (sculpture) and Linda’s SoCS (cheek).
*I am actually taking my first-ever a sculpting class and this is my first sculpture (of my husband’s head) but that is where the resemblance to real life ends. If you knew what he actually looks like then you’d understand why I have zero illusions regarding my future as an “artist.” It is fun though!
Quit staring at me! You’re starting to give me a complex!
Don’t blame me if people are looking at you. What do you expect!?
I expect people to mind their own damn business!
But seriously Sue, what’s with the monkey face?

These 41 words of sheer fictional genius (ha ha) were inspired by Sammi’s Scribbles challenge to use the word “complex” and by my own occasional inner dialogue.

we laugh as we reach the peak
denying our fate
