Family Drama

Life imitates Art and says nanny boo boo. Art imitates Life and says I’m not touching you. Art and Life get as close to each other as possible, trying to bother each other as much as possible without breaking the rules before you snap: I will turn this car around and there will be no screen time for either one of you. Art intimidate­s Life; Life cries a little. Art tells Life to stop being such a baby. Life pouts but still wants dessert. Art and Life have to share a room and will be best friends when they’re very old and no one else remembers things the way they do.
