Chapter 16 : Are you normal?

Anne is inspired by the works of art (at MONA) to talk about the last time she saw me. Which is when I was comatose in hospital.  Which I do not remember. 

Anne: You were sick. You didn’t say anything.

ME: I don’t remember that.

Anne: Now look at yourself. You’re normal.

Me: So I wasn’t normal then.

Anne: You couldn’t speak. Didn’t respond to me. Just ate pureed food.

Me: I was abnormal

Anne: Yes.

Me (being stupid): Is this art normal. Are the people creating it normal? Am I normal now?

No response.

ME: I’m asking am I normal now?

She still doesn’t answer. She is busy looking at a 3 thousand year old mummy.
