So I’m crashing at my gran’s place, it’s the morning, I’m reading the paper at the kitchen table, and her husband walks in and says ‘you know who you look like?’ (already an alarming thing to hear), and then proceeds to spend half a year typing something with one index finger into google image search, while i just sit there drinking my coffee, held hostage in this bizarre interaction, feeling rude to go back to the paper, but also feeling like i shouldn’t just be watching an old man googling something for fifteen minutes, and then finally he finds what he’s looking for and holds it up to compare to my face and says ‘oh my goodness, it’s uncanny’ and at this point i’m feeling a bit uncomfortable, like I’m just hoping it’s not some celebrity that’s obviously stunning so I’m forced to be grateful for this now agonisingly outstretched exchange, and at last he shows me the image and IT’S THE FUCKING SCREAM BY EDVARD MUNCH. I laugh - i think, you know what, fair’s fair. Funny stuff. Worth the wait. But then I look up and I see that he’s not joking at all. My gran has overheard this all happen from the kitchen and comes in and starts telling him off, saying ‘that is a horrible thing to say’, but she’s so defensive of me that it starts to become really awkward. He keeps saying ‘look at the head shape, look at the head shape’ and she keeps saying ‘stop it you’re upsetting her’ and i was just sitting there, thinking that i may finally understand that picture
