I didn't get very far into drawing a cup when this lady says loudly, "Can I have that!?" Then, "You wanna draw me and momma." Momma looked like she was born in another era and another America. She had no teeth and was wrinkled to the point that she was cute. They both straightened their backs and sorta posed.
Momma's offspring was off.
Me: I am already doing this cup.
Her: Well I *have* to have it.
Me: Maybe so
Her: You finished?
Me: Have a lot more to do
Her: So you gonna give it to us
Me: Well, I just...
Her: Momma is from Pennsylvania, and tonight is her last night here
Me: I'll give it to you
Her: Oh!
Her: Looks good enough, you finished? It doesn't need to be done too much.
Me: Have a lot more to do on it
Her: Oh my, momma... look at that!
Momma: Oooo boy!
Her: I'm going to have to get a frame for this
Her: You should be in Hollywood (she repeated this loudly several times)
By the time I finished... the woman was flipping out... and was sure I should be in Hollywood.
She handed the drawing to momma. Momma gave a big surprised happy grin, "Oooooo boy".
