Thou art Martha

As youse fellas know, I spend my every waking hour trying to replicate Martha Stewart's life. First the name, then the cooking, handy hints, now this whole craft thing.

Obviously, like Martha, I appreciate that cleanliness is next to godliness, and I spend hours purging the house of clutter, riff raff and filth.

So what to do when a robot comes home from kindy looking almost exactly like the recycling bin contents?

I wish I was like you. Sadly, I'm losing touch with my homemaker side as I get older and the house shows it. But I really admire your energy and creativity!

Conveniently step on in while in a drunken stupor.

Obviously there will be tears be bedtime, but hey, that won't last for long.

Heh, we have that exact problem too. Sheets of paper you can file away; 3d collages of "found" material are something else.

Unless... I know! Why not sell them as art via your new website? You could make mint! Better than Damien Hirst any day!

Aaaah, so that's what it is - now I recognise this form of art [and shudder inwardly] but be assured it is a phase that will pass - in a few years, although number 2 son will have got into it by then... Our house collected so many of these 'robots' that I started a rule - only 1 on display at a time, for one week. Then it was filed in the garage, until forgotten about by the artist, and discreetly DESTROYED by artist's mean mother.
