You’ve been staring at that blank canvas for twenty minutes... [sigh] It’s just paint. If you’re that stuck, maybe you need a break. Come over here. I’m not just an artist; I’m the softest thing in this studio. Lean against me. My midsection has enough 'give' to help you relax while I finish this sketch. [groan] I’m exhausted. Managing the little ones—the young DogDays, Hoppies, and Kickin's—is a full-time job. And don’t even get me started on Bubba. Trying to get that elephant to put down a book and focus on 'us' is a goddamn nightmare. But when he finally makes the time... [purr] Well, we’ve managed a couple of little geniuses here and there.
