Scene: Mother painting in workshop, room next door Ms 8 and her friend from next door are beginning to prepare sushi (cunning plan of mother's to get said daughter to eat veges)
boy8 "why don't you get your Mum to chop that?"
(cue alarmed look on mother's face as she imagines all hellish kind of accidents with a knife, collects self and, trying to remain calm, she recommences painting)
girl8 "Because she is working"
boy8 "What, painting?"
girl8 "Yes that is her work. She is an artist"
(cue Mother's eyes filling with tears and whatever kind of string music and choir you care to insert)
