CrumpArt

Several random presents and notes appeared on my desk at uni this week. On Wednesday it was cupcakes from Jane, chocolate cake from Lilly and a birthday note from my friend Andy who was in the Master’s program last year. On Friday, I got a flier about an Artist’s Books exhibition, presumably from Julia, my Artist’s Books lecturer last year, and a random orange chilli. I have no idea who the chilli came from or why they gave it to me (edited to add — it was a birthday present from Sean the Awesome Studio Tech), but I put it in my bag on Friday afternoon and brought it home anyway.

Cue to Sunday morning. We were about to head out the door for my Birthday Surprise Trip, and I decided to grab a top, “just incase I got chilly”, at which point I picked up my top and Mr Crumpet repeated “CHILLY!!!” at me, at the top of his voice. Two seconds later, the orange chilli flew out of my top, and onto the floor, right between the two of us.

I stared in disbelief (I’d forgotten all about the chilli and how it came into my possession), and looked up at the Mister. He was concentrating very hard, like a toddler looks when they’re forced to think about something. A few seconds later, he shouted “BOOBIES!”
