Oops! 22/30

Oops!, collage/acrylic, 6 x 6, Elizabeth W. Seaver
Sold

There comes a time in most parties when a little too much fun flies around the place. This time, poor Rachel got in its way. No one meant for her to wear a cupcake, but it happened, and once the shock wore off, everyone sped away laughing, leaving Rachel with icing dripping down her forehead.
How do you handle such a socially embarrassing moment? Do you stomp your prehistoric dinosaur feet and flounce home in a storm of plumage? Do you laugh with everyone else and find a sink to stick your head in? Or do you act cool and nonchalantly eat the cupcake off of your own head, acting like that's what you meant to happen?
Rachel is captured on the horns of a dilemma.

Smart cats know that the best reaction is to eat the cupcake! It's CAKE for heaven's sake!

I'm with you. I might actually do all three! That's just the way I am....

Cathy Engberg said...

Ha! I like your stories... and I would of course eat the cupcake also! Love your work!

Hi, Cathy! Thank you so much. I think I'd have done the flounce earlier in my life, but now, I'm all about the cake!

I laugh it off and find the absurdity in the situation.
These drawings are entertaining and funny.
You have a great sense of humor.

Hi, Mary--Laughter is the best way, isn't it? Tears and tantrums don't really help! Thank you so much for commenting!
