“When I was 12 I babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art; drag me by my hand and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. She would ask me to “do the voice” and I’d put on a sports-announcer Olympics-style voice and be like, “Such form! This level of coloring! Why I haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time! And what is this? Why Jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made… a monochrome pink canvas… I haven’t seen this attempted since winter of 1932… and I gotta say Jeff, it’s absolutely splendid” and she’d fall back giggling. At the end of every night, she’d check with me: “Did you really like it?” and I’d say yes and talk about something I noticed and tucked her in. She was just accepted into 3 major art schools. She wrote me a letter. Inside was a picture from when she was younger. Monochrome pink. “Thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”
