mmoa_writes at 11:13pm on 07/12/2006Every now and again, my father just gives me reason to want to hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.
Last night, he shouted out my name, ordering me to hurry up into the front room. Me, a little cranky, assumed he just wanted to lecture me or some such, but to my surprise, he asked me to sit down and watch the news. Why? Tomma Abts, the latest Turner Prize winner. He wanted me to see her artwork, saying "it's rather like the sort of things you do and I thought it would inspire you..."
*aw!*
Then he got really annoyed with the BBC news cast because they only showed two of her paintings for some five seconds each. He then apologised for "'wasting my time' - look at how they barely showed any!" which made my heart melt with filial love.
