Well, it’s certainly creative…
Rilla: I’ve been thinking. We should have an art club for kids who want to be artists when they grow up.
Me: I love that idea!
Rilla: I wonder what we should call it.
Me, having a Jane Andrews moment: Um, the Art Club?
(Somewhere, Anne Shirley shakes her head in disgust.)
Rilla: No…I know! How about the Art Bassoon?
Me: *blinks*
Rilla: What is a bassoon, anyway?
Me: It’s a musical instrument—here, I’ll show you. *reaches for Google*
Google, beaming: You’re going to love this.
YouTube, modestly: This old thing? Why it’s just a little something I threw together.
We watch in delight as a bassoon quartet plays a Super Mario Galaxy medley. Rilla’s excitement cannot be described. She marvels over the size of the bassoons, their rollicking sound as they play the familiar melodies.
Rilla: Bassoons are awesome.
A pause.
Rilla: But on second thought, I don’t think Art Bassoon is the right name for our club.
She thinks.
Rilla: I’ve got it! Art Sardine.

I love it.
This afternoon Bella was admiring a crayon which she said was a lovely shade of ivory green. I think art sardines might be ivory green.

I love it. My teen and I were brainstorming names for an art club she wants to start — I’ll let her know Art Bassoon is available.

She is such a darling. I vote for the Art Basoon club. Art Sardines makes my face go, “Ewwww.”

I kind of think The Art Bassoon should be a record label…
