Once Upon a Time



There was a mom with two small sons. They all lived in a small house with one real bedroom and a pretend bedroom in the garage. On neighborhood clean-up night, they walked the streets, dragging home a blue and turquoise sofa and a dresser with a missing drawer. 


Responding to a strange yearning, the mom saw small framed reproductions of famous artworks at the local grocery store. Choosing carefully, she brought home a Monet, two Van Goughs, and a Picasso. 


Sitting alone in the dark, she looked around the room and saw that it was good.

Wouldn't that be something if after all of this time you discovered at least one of the 'prints' was the real deal???

I think I gave them away a long time ago. They were little prints, mounted in a shadow box. I loved them!

Oh they were prints. I thought you were a multi-millionaire who busted it all for art!

On $100 a week, you had to make careful choices :>)
