“And you? What are you going to be when you grow up?”
In kindergarten, when the teacher asked this question,
Warren had answered with his plans for that afternoon—
the afternoon being as far into the future
as his five-year-old mind could imagine. Since then,
“What are you going to be when you grow up?”
had been Mia's and his way of asking about plans for the day.

Warren!
My hero!
What, you ask, do I want to be when I grow up? I want to be the artist who, this afternoon, interrupts her Abstract Faces series/class progress to start a parenthetical project of a different sort.
How's that for grown up!
