I didn't understand why Kid was staring at the painting. Was it one of those slight tilts to the side only he could see? I guess there's only one way to find out.
"Hey Kid, why are you staring at that painting?" I asked.
"It's mocking me, Liz," he answered.
"Of course it is," I said sarcastically. Maybe I was right when I said he was insane.
"Every time I leave the room for an undetermined period of time this particular painting always falls to the ground," Kid further explained. So it's one of those symmetry issues. "It's always this painting. All of the other paintings stay on the wall, but this one wants to fall."
"Are you really going to stand there all day waiting for a painting to fall?" Honestly, this guy has to be crazy if he's going to stare at a painting all day. Then I had an idea. "You know Kid, you could take the painting off on the other side of the wall since this one keeps falling. It'd still be symmetrical then!"
"No, then the painting would win," he said seriously.
I give Kid a look. He's having a fight… with a painting? He really is insane.

A/N: You all know when you've had that fight with an inanimate object. =)
