THE PORTRAIT

ART

No thank you. Where did you get the fig leaf? It seems…well used.

AURORA

It’s been part of my art kit as long as I can remember. I just pull it out whenever I have to. If it bothers you, don’t feel you have to use it.   Believe me, I’m quite familiar with your genitalia.

ART

That makes you a member of a very small club.

AURORA

Why, I used to help your mother bathe you when you were just an infant. You’ve come a long way since then.

ART

Thank you. Leaf doesn’t bother me. I mean it chafes a little, but it’s a pleasant chafing. And it matches my slippers.

AURORA

You should have gone full monte. I sense you have trouble finishing what you start.

ART

Maybe if we weren’t related.

AURORA

The leaf is strictly for your benefit. I do not include it in the finished piece. I prefer my imagination run a little wild.

ART

I hope you have a big imagination.
