Thursday journal with Neet

 The last week for Neet's theme of 'In gear’  on Art Journal Journey and this week the saying is 'Of course I talk to myself, sometimes I need an expert opinion.' Ruth was talking to her older sister about a forthcoming event at her youth club. Her sister Judith was a bit above herself, considered that at the age of eighteen she was grown up and could have the only right opinion about everything, even if it was not popular. Ruth wasn't going to ask her any questions that would start of an argument about who was right so just kept it to a general chat about the event that the club was holding for a local charity. The competition for this month was for the most unusual hat and Ruth had made her own out of scraps of things in her craft room, and it hadn't cost her a penny. She was really pleased with it, but didn't really mind if she didn't win, it had been fun to make. "  I suppose you want me to give my opinion about your hat for the competition" asked Judith. In the meantime Ruth had been chatting away to herself, which prompted Judith to ask if Ruth was talking to her or to herself. Ruth's immediate answer was " Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need an expert opinion" In other words Ruth had no confidence in Judiths crafting abilities at all, and didn't want to know what she thought of it.
