I knew no one as a kid that would go to another park, playground, or field because of a dandelion problem. How does that conversation even go? “aww man, too many dandelions, let’s blow this pop stand”.

Watercolor painting. It looks depressing, washed out and like #### every single time.

This year has been horrible for people with allergies to pollen.

Well if you or your kids are sensitive you would definitely avoid a field of dandelions.

That’s why anti-histamines can be broken in half. Child-sized portion.

... Um What?

Spoiler!

... I don't find any of those washed out and depressing. I mean the last one is one of like 500 watercolours of birds by Audubon, and just getting that book alone is enough to pretty much completely discount your opinion here.

Getting stuck in a fast food lineup behind a parent trying to practice having their young, overwhelmed kids try to order and back up the line. Also, asking your kid every detail, just order for them and save us all 15 minutes we’ll never get back.

Lol yeah..

Twelve year old to friends in Weitz imagination: "Yo, this park is too poorly maintained for my liking. Let's blow this joint and file a complaint with the city on our way to Sev for corn dogs."

Reality: Kids purposely trek into the bush to find abandoned shacks littered with carcasses and used needles to surf Tik Tok and smoke a joint.

I think you've been indoctrinated into liking water color by the art establishment. Nobody would like it versus other, more vibrant painting styles. It doesn't even look very skillful (most often...obviously it took some skill to paint the ones you posted, but there are always outliers in anything). I've never painted anything in my life, but I guarantee I could paint water color and it would look no worse than all the #### that passes for art out there.

I don’t see a single dandelion.

Reminds me of those kits you would get as a child where you paint with water and the Colours appear

Totally. It's so basic and vanilla. Only people that like it are those chicks with long stringy grey hair who don't wear any make-up and drive 15-year-old base model VW Golfs. And have too much clutter and too many knick-knacks in their house. They've sort of tidied up a bit before you come over, but only by cleaning around the little messes everywhere. Then you always step on a crum and it gets imbedded in your sock. They offer you some water, but the ice stinks and there's a floaty in the cup.

My god, how did you do that? You described to a T my friend's mom growing up. The hair, VW(they had a van back then), the 'artist', clutter, and suspect refreshments. Unreal.

She also made Mac and Cheese with white cheddar, so we always bugged him when he brought in macaroni without cheese.
