Young man, you will support your little brother’s artistic endeavors and that’s FINAL.

Hush! Not another word out of you, Tommy. You’ll ruin all of Ollie’s hard work. Honestly, I don’t see what the big deal is. He’s only asking you to stand there for three more hours while he finishes up his sketch.

Whining about it isn’t going to make this process go any faster, Tommy. We support each other in this house. If he can sit nicely in the stands for hours at one of your soccer games, holding still for the rest of the afternoon is the very least you could do for him. After all, he’s gone through all the trouble of setting up his Art 101 97-Piece Sketch Box Easel. It’d be a shame to make him put away all those acrylics, oils, watercolors, and pencils now.

I just wish you could see how handsome he’s making you look! Except for the crossed eyes, of course. And the large ears. The elongated teeth are a little disturbing, too, but he’s the artist. Who are we to judge his vision?
