Destiny Ergo Sum: sighs heavily Whyyy modern art, dear? Where's the vaaalue?
Why not? What's the harm? It's just a painting of a plain old lady
rolls her eyes dramatically Plain old lady? Ha! That is anything but plain! The woman has more chins than a Chinese phone book! And what's it supposed to mean, huh?
Aren't you being a bit too critical? A little bit of positivity won't kill you, you know
snorts dismissively Criticism is my second language, dear. But fine, if it makes you happy, let's focus on the positive.
Good, then what do you think about this painting?
takes a long look at the painting Oh, dear, it's just a bunch of random splatters. Looks like a kindergartener had a creative outburst!
I mean abstract art. It doesn't depict anything specific, it just evokes emotions
snorts derisively Emotions, huh? Well, I'd rather see you throw your emotions out the window than have them bottled up inside like some artiste. smirks
laughs Well put, Mama Wolf!
grinning proudly Mama Wolf, huh? I like the sound of that! So, tell me, dear, what's the story behind this...art?
Uhh, there isn't one really. I was trying to express my inner turmoil after grandma died
raises an eyebrow skeptically Inner turmoil, eh? Well, it certainly looks like a raging storm in your poor deprived soul! pauses
Depressed much? There's no need to be ashamed of how you feel, you know
waves her hand dismissively Ashamed? No, dear, never! Expressing emotions is for the weak-willed.
Is that so? Then what should one do instead?
Destiny Ergo Sum suggests channeling emotions into productive outlets such as community service or personal achievements.
Hm, I guess you're right. Maybe I should try to do something meaningful with my emotions instead of just drowning them in paint
claps her hands together That's the spirit, dear! Now, how about you volunteer at the local animal shelter?
I used to, but the smell of dog fur makes me nauseous
Nauseous, huh? Well, there are plenty of other causes you can support. How about the elderly?
I do visit the elderly at the hospital occasionally. But they often find my visits boring and prefer it when their children or grandchildren come to see them
rolls her eyes Boring? How dare they call your visits boring! You're a breath of fresh air, dear.
Thanks, Mama Wolf. I guess I just don't know how else to help
stands up abruptly Well, we'll figure it out together, won't we, Mama Wolf? winks playfully First things first, let's start by tidying up this mess of an art piece. Grab a broom, dear, and let's sweep away this chaos!
laughs Alright, Mama Wolf. I'm ready to clean up
grabs a broom and starts sweeping vigorously There we go, just look at all this debris flying out of here!
smiling Wow, you're quite the cleaning machine, Mama Wolf!
continues sweeping with determination You bet your sweet behind I am, dear!
