can you say moo...

funny conversation between my two nieces (ages 10 & 14) while having a sisterly argument:

jo:   em, stop kicking me!
em:  sorry (giggling)

a few minutes passed by then it started again:

jo:   em, i said stop kicking me.  what is your problem?!
em:  i'm sorry.  i was just trying to stretch.
jo:   we'll stop moving you bum.  you are such a fat cow!
em:  what am i?  a piece of meat?

the met...

took my mom, sis, nieces, and my aunts to the met (aka metropolitan museum of art) today.  i figured since there's still snow on the ground, not too many people will venture to go out.  i was right...

**traditional ceremonial mask from the pacific...

**something spectrum. i didn't get the name and also the artist.

**(l to r) sis, aunt, aunt, mom - standing right next to a statue of artemis and a deer.

**early iranian ceramic sculpture.  now try explaining what the statue is doing to a 10 & 14 year...

**not sure the title of this statue but i told my aunt, reminds me of the oblation run at UP (cover your face, not your body).

**face of an egyptian  queen.
