Well That Figures

(Years ago my parents signed me up for a oil painting class at a religious college. When I got there I was the youngest one by at least 20 years besides one other guy who looked about my age.)

Teacher: “Okay, we are just going to start with basic sketching.”

(The guy then proceeds to get naked and stands on a small platform.)

Me: *very quietly to the woman next to me* “Do we all have to do that?”

(Apparently my parents didn’t understand what figure drawing meant. They still love to tell that story.)
