Samuel and the Test: Part Two

Part 1 was  Samuel Takes the Test  at this site 

Samuel hopped off the table and dragged it over by the viewing mirror, followed by the chair placed on top the table. 

What is he doing…Oh, he is establishing contact…Wait…What is he REALLY doing??


Samuel had selected a variety of primary color squirt bottles and placed those on the table.  Climbing onto the chair with squirt bottles in each hand, Samuel thought.  These are on the tables of restaurants but never touched them.  Let us see what these babies can do…

The last thing the observers observed were wild sprays of colors hitting the mirror.  Circles. Arcs. All dripping and running down from the top of the mirror to the bottom in primary, secondary, and tertiary bold colors. Dripping and running until the mirror was obscured.

What kind of paint is that, tempura?….No, we used acrylic this time…WHY?...We got a good deal on it…

The cameras were in clear view and an easy shot.  Samuel aimed easily.

At least he did not see the cameras in the vents…No…How…Dammit!....

Samuel had dumped the crayons on the hard floor and was stomping them to pieces, almost powder.  Cheap things, aren’t they? Must be budget cuts.  Always stick with Crayola is my motto…


He dumped the tubs of thick paste and kneaded the crayon into it, forming a clay, a clay of all colors.  The heat vents were waiting for him, and he covered the clay over the vents, a beautiful paste that melted and hardened.  Lovely.  I must remember this…

What will happen next?  Now that Samuel has eliminated adult observation?  What will he do?

The third and final part of this adventure in the test is scheduled for Friday, September 13.  Is that significant in any way...or is it by accident...I just don't know for sure.

The Woman at the Top

From Arleen at Starting over, Accepting Changes-Maybe

Snap.   

Snap. Snap. “Okay, darling, now try this with your arms raised, you know, like you just did a triple on the balance beam.  Marvelous!”

Snap.  Snap.  “Remember to smile!  This is a victorious moment: you’ve made it to the top! Work it!  Work it!  Fabulous!”

Snap.  Snap.  “Now, let’s try it with you taking a few steps back closer to the edge….
What do you mean you’re done?...
What are you doing?...
Hey, give me back the camera!...
I mean it: Give me back the damn camera!...
That camera cost…Nooooooo!
You idiot!  I knew I should have gone with that other model…”

“Where are you going?  No, don’t drive off without me!  I’m sorry...I didn't mean it about the other model!...I'll get a new camera…don’t leave me here…I hate heights…”
