What would you rather be, or a wasp?

Elliot sent this photo of himself, Laurel and Tom (L to R) recently while he was on a trip to Vancouver for a family friend's funeral. According to sources close to the action he also made G'ma wear some shiny, luminous thing on her ears.

The title of today's blog is inspired by a question Elliot posed but it's actually a quote from my philosophy teacher way back when - Eugene Halliday - who used to like playing around with words and ideas. See also this site and this one. Elliot pointed out that it was obvious G'ma should have been a florist rather than going into the medical profession. Laurel used the 'If you could be anything what would you be?' approach as part of her University course projects where she photographed people wearing a huge pair of angel wings and they had to say what they would be if they could be anything; G'ma said something like 'flower shop owner' at that time. Hannah, photographed being a barrister behind the counter at Starbucks, admitted she wanted to be a Polar bear.

Anyway, to answer Elliot's question, I'd be a surgeon but I think I'm maybe more suited to writing.
