Oh great. More naked art.

“And lots of pasta,” Keene says.

“Can’t wait,” she says as she walks into the house.

Sterling Family Group Text

Keene: I’m lost. This museum is huge.

Juno: I know – you were with us and then you were gone.

Declan: Where are you?

Keene: Around a bunch of art.

Maggie: That’s helpful.

Brooklyn: Do we need to tell the staff that we’ve lost you?

Keene: Maybe. I’m getting scared. All the rooms look the same to me.

Declan: Just look for the naked statue and then turn right.

Keene: Thanks. Which naked statue?

Eli: (sent with echo) The one with the small penis.

Keene: Hilarious.

Maggie: Ask one of the staff the way to the Birth of Venus painting. We’ll meet you there.

Brooklyn: We’re going to have to get Keene a leash backpack so he can’t wander off.

Keene: I’m down with that, but only if you put snacks in it.

Zadie: Goldfish?

Brooklyn: Animal crackers?

Keene: Yes and Yes – also I want a juice box.

Juno: Who is going to hold Keene’s leash?

Eli: Me. Definitely me.

Keene: I’m rethinking this plan now.

Juno: But think of the snacks.

Keene: I am. This museum is making me hungry.
