Okay, so I was sick but I still dragged my bum out to the ICA for an opening last night. Thanks to Karen and Joe, I now get invited to openings and fun things like that!
So my work friend Megan and I went down to the ICA. It was quite a mix of people and I was definitely feeling the vibe of the evening. That was until the 40 year olds cornered Megan and I and started asking us bazaar questions, trying to make conversation. Here were some of the awkward conversations and questions that came out of their mouths:
Weird 40-year-old-number-one: "So, is there art here?"
Me: "Yes, it's on the 3rd floor."
W40YONO: "Is any of it yours."
Me: "Umm... no."
W30YONO: "Are you an artist?"
Me: "N0."
Weird 40-year-old-number-two: "So, I always wondered what you do about kids who cheat, like if you see them cheating on a test."
Megan: "We teach kindergarten."
W40YONT: "oh..." in a confused way.
Megan: "They're 5. We don't give them written tests."
W40YONT: "So how do you give them grades?"
Megan: "We just check to make sure they know there letters and stuff."
W40YONT: "Oh..." (Still confused)
Weird 40-year-old-number-one: "So, what's the art upstairs like?"
Me: "Well, it's modern. It's out there."
W40YONO: "Are you out there?"
Me: "Um... what?"
W40YONO: "Well you described the art as out there, are you out there?"
Me: "I don't even know what that means."
Um, yeah.

LOL - "We just make sure they know their letters". I love that.
I get a laugh out of my "I don't know what that means."
Ok, that made me laugh too. But now I'm proud to say it was with you.
mm 40 yr olds. I bet they already have a house or condo! You could just move right in and get on an HGTV show to redecorate!
