Several recent e-mails and posts about politics and art made this quote I stumbled across in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way so timely:
Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, good mother, good-looking, good-tempered, well-groomed, and unaggressive.
Leslie M. McIntyre
I guess it’s a good thing I’m not a good writer, sculptor or geneticist then.
I object!
My second husband says I’m a nag. *sniff, sniff*
He’s just being surly.
I gotta ask … did you do in the first? With a piece of sculpture?
Nah, he’s still here. I just have my at home husband and then my vacation husband, too. Shhhh!!! Don’t tell!
NAG!!! Hey, we haven’t talked about it, since, but damn, those cucumber sandwiches were good. Cukes! : )
Maybe I’ll have to take a trip to the A&P in May to get the stuff.
Nobody makes Lisa cook on her vacation. And nobody puts Baby in a corner. : )
