Dad's dream

My dh had always told me how he used to take his friend, Wai Pung's pieces of art to pass off as his and hand it to the teacher as assignments. As Wai Pung is meticulous in his work, even the drafts he drawn up would be good enough for dh. He justified his actions by saying that he's just doing some good to somebody's efforts than having it thrown away like dirt.

The other day, he told me he had this dream, something similar to what he had ACTUALLY done when he was in school.

He said he was brought back to art classes again and in the urgency to pass something up to the teacher, he took our son's art to pass it as his, just like what he did last time. But when he saw how terribly un-presentable drawing it was, he had no choice but to redo the whole thing himself. "What a nitemare it had been, I think I would always have this phobia of art" he said.

I had a good laugh myself and criticized him. What a dad! Stealing his own son's work to pass it off as his! Such a disgrace!

Meanwhile, Son#1 first art exam results was handed back today. He got a C for it. The title was "Underwater world". When he showed it to me, I said "err..." He then asked "Not nice meh?" I said, "can be improved on, can be improved on"... Haha... I think I have to cultivate some art-sense into him before he follows his father's footsteps.
