Yesterday I posted an entry about leaky ceilings, and… guess what? I got this cute illustration on my e-mail inbox today:
LOL, another leaky ceiling reminder!
It’s not a very reasonable piece of art though if you look at it more than once.
Notice the kids all look like they’re of the same age, except that small baby beside the mother. Or maybe they’re quintuplets?
And that dog looked so heavy sleeping on top of the kids… they will surely get muscle cramps in the morning with that sleeping arrangement!
The kid sleeping beside the father looks like he’s gonna roll down on the floor anytime. And all of them are smiling like they’re posing for a photography session with eyes closed. 😀
Well, it’s just an artist’s way of painting his idea of a real happy family, though for me, being happy means being smart too – using our available resources the best way we can. The parents should have improvised a big rug on the floor where some of them can sleep with more space. And why hold an umbrella while sleeping when you can just move the bed a bit, leave a pail to catch the falling raindrops while getting some sleep. That’s speaking from experience! (just read my previous post) he he…
Sorry dear artist, even if your illustration looks cute, I’m just tempted to redraw it a little bit in my imagination:
– the bed moved a few feet away from the leak,
– a pail catching the rain drops under the leaky ceiling,
– mom and dad with two kids sleeping on the bed,
– the four kids sleeping on a rug on the floor with the doggie beside them, not on top of them…
– and I think the cat can sleep with the group in the bed
– and most of all, they’re not smiling but just looked like they’re having a really great time in dreamland. 😀

don't forget the chicken (or is it a rooster)..it should be moved out of the house coz it might be carrying the bird flu and contaminate the household 😀
Hi great posting,liked it have a nice weekend
they should close the window so it won't feel cold and to prevent rain from getting inside. The umbrella can still trickle some rainwater into them.
Question is, why have so many children when they're as poor as a rat? 🙂
@raine: yup, i was really thinking what that rooster is doing inside the room, maybe he's thinking of sleeping in the bed too?
@zingtrial: thanks for dropping by! have a great week ahead…
@Daisy: good observation on the umbrella, but i think the windows are broken, it looks like they used a newspaper to cover it?
@snglguy: hehe, i knew you're going to ask that!
now i know kung bakit di ka agad happy, lahat pinoproblema. pati yung drawing. ehehhe 🙂
@tin-tin: LOL, wala lang magawa, napagtrippan ang drawing… talaga lang i don't agree sa concept na pinapakita ng artist.
carey, you reminded me of my professor in Humanites when I was in college. That was two years ago… Ugh, it's been a while..
jun, why so??? why your prof in humanities??? paki-explain naman pls. 🙁
My prof pays a lot of attention to details when analyzing a painting, sculpture or any other piece of art. That is of course, without forgetting the whole picture. 😀
jun, kaya pala, kala ko kung ano.hehehe… well, i think that's because i'm an archi, we usually look at art not only on how it is drawn or painted but also the artist's concept, kung sa bldgs naman, we consider not only how it appears but also its function.
