Art Critic in Minature

I was just about to leave the bookstore for the day when a nice family came up to the counter with their purchases.  I asked the little boy, who was maybe 4 years old, if he was going to go to school soon.  He got kind of a panicked look on his face and said, "No....I don't want to go to school.  I don't want to learn about Keith Haring!!!"

I looked at his parents and said, "So, he really doesn't like Keith Haring, huh?"  The mom said that he really disliked Keith Haring's work and then encouraged the tiny little boy to tell me his favorite artist.

"Mo -Dig-Li-Ahhh- Ni" was the extremely serious reply.     

Apparently he also is fond of Jackson Pollock's splatter paintings.

Only in the Hamptons?
