A Shark Eatin' People

Sunday afternoon at my sister's house:

Uncle B: "Hey, Oliver.  What should I draw?"  

Oliver: "I don't want to hang out with you."

Uncle B: "You don't want to hang out with me?  Okay.  Anyway, what should I draw?"

Oliver: "A shark looking at some people and he's eating people."

Uncle B: "A shark... eating people?  That's a little... dark."

Oliver: "Yeah.  The shark just has to get out of there and he has to eat through people."

Uncle B: "Okay.  A shark eating people."

Oliver: "Yeah.  A shark eating people."

Oliver leaves the room to watch Open Season 3.  A half hour or so passes, Uncle Q and  Sam The Girl arrive.  Oliver comes back for dinner and spies the crayon drawing.

Oliver: "Hey!  That's not what I asked you to draw!"

Uncle B: "Yeah, it is.  What did you ask me to draw?"

Oliver: "A shark eating people!"

Uncle B: "That's what I drew.  Ask Uncle Q."

Oliver brings drawing to Uncle Q.

Uncle Q: "Hey, it's a shark eating people!  Hahaha!"

Even though my little art director wasn't that enthused by the completion of our collaboration, I hope O-man gives me another chance and works with me again.
