An email exchange with my father
Before you read the email exchange below I think I should clarify that my parents have been married for 48 years. In my family's circle everyone knows who is my father since we're so much alike, but there is serious doubt about who is my mother. The only proof she has is that she was in the hospital that day.

This is connected with a huge shopping mall in Warsaw (designed and built by Israeli contractor). In nature, the fish is not a part of it.
Love,
Dad

Dad,
This is DEFINITELY one of your most interesting pieces of art!!! I really like it. It's asymmetrical and makes the eye stay around to look at the details and figure out what's going on. It's not as "clear" to immediately understand what it is. Makes the brain work.
Love,

I value your opinion very high. You said exactly the same what I said when I finished the work, contrary to my wife. Obviously, one can not expect any intelligent comment from a person, who has no taste, nor satisfactory educational background in art.
Love,
Dad

Dad,
Your wife doesn't have the same taste and appreciation of surrealistic art as we do. Sometimes I do wonder why you married her. ;-)

I just had a similar discussion with my mom. I seriously doubt she is my mother.

I mean seriously, do we have any other proof besides them telling us they were at the hospital that day? I think I'm going to demand a genetic test to prove she's my mom.

My mom doubts that I'm her daughter sometimes. Because she is Italian and thinks taking revenge is a high virtue and I think it's awful. She literally sneered at me one time when we were talking about it and said, "You are not Italian enough."
I really enjoy your Dad's paintings. He sounds like a funny guy.

that's cute. You and your father sound stoic, like my wife. The opposite of me (which is not an insult, and probably a good thing).
