Mom's New Painting

My mom bought a new painting for our house today and she loves it. It's called a "barbosa." I think it’s ok except for one major glaring problem – it looks like someone painted his ass green and hopped around butt-naked on a canvas. The painting is supposed to be of a pastoral scene, but is actually of a landscape and a butt-print. Gross.

Later in the day I find my mother turning the knob on our lamp to higher settings. "Look!" she told me. "This painting gets brighter in the light!" Then she turned the lamp to a lower setting and said, "Ooooohhh, this gets darker in the shadows." I am dead serious. This was the most embarassing conversation I have ever had with my mother. The only thing I told her was that the chair does the same thing.
