I mentioned that one of my neighbors found two old lantern statues. Yesterday, he asked my advice on painting them. I told him I would advise him on paint, but how he painted them was entirely his business.

On closer inspection of the statues, I discovered they weren’t “lantern boys.” The figures were seated with their hands in their laps. I believe they originally held something, like maybe a fishing pole.

Never knew there were so many categories of racist statuary.
