I saw something painted on the sidewalk yesterday that made me laugh:
"I HATE YOU DAD"
I found it incredibly amusing for three reasons.
1) What exactly did dad do?
2) I highly doubt that phrase has ever been painted on a sidewalk anywhere else... it was one of those things that just kind of catches you off guard (kudos to the artist for that one)
and
3) The medium in which it was executed: white paint with a small paintbrush. The letters were only about an inch tall. Have you ever painted on any sort of concrete surface? That shit isn't easy... taking into consideration that the artist was making letters, that must have taken at least a good 2-3 minutes from start to finish.
This raised a few other questions - is the house the embellished sidewalk is in front of where these people live? Has "dad" seen it? Or is the home occupied by a completely different family that has nothing to do with it? If so, have they seen it, and do they think everyone that reads it thinks someone in that house hates Dad? What if there isn't even a Dad in the house and everyone who reads that thinks there is, and this makes the occupants feel like complete strangers are making them out to be spoiled brats?
Sometimes I think way too much.
