Modern Life of the Soul

Overheard at the Munch retrospective at MoMA:

Mother: What’s wrong?
Teenage Son: [Eyes blank, shrugging] I just wouldn’t put any of these paintings in my house, that’s all I’m saying.

Oh c’mon, what’s a home without a little melancholy, despair, and sexual humiliation?

(Another hopefully-beefier overheard in the works for next week.)
