00:02 Let's see what the internet is challenging
00:04 this mom to make today.
00:06 Oh goodness, something with avocados.
00:09 Hopefully it's guacamole.
00:11 I can do that.
00:12 Oh yeah, oh yeah, right, avocado art.
00:18 (upbeat music)
00:21 Tell me one person in this whole world
00:25 that does this for fun.
00:26 Is this a thing?
00:28 Are you on Instagram?
00:30 I have an Instagram account.
00:31 My first thought is by the time I get a third of the way
00:37 through an avocado, it's gonna be brown.
00:40 Y'all.
00:41 So you can do whatever pattern you want
00:43 and you can take as long as you want.
00:45 I just don't understand what the world has come to.
00:47 Okay, I feel like the bigger avocado may be easier.
00:52 Let me see.
00:53 What sort of design are you thinking?
00:56 I'm thinking of a person.
00:59 I'm not artistic at all.
01:02 I am a Pinterest failure all day long.
01:05 Maybe I'll do a sunshine.
01:07 I don't even know where to begin.
01:09 Watch this.
01:11 I'm gonna blow up the internet.
01:13 I mean, I guess if you were staying in like a spa
01:16 or something, the chef may create something like this
01:20 on your plate.
01:21 So it's a little bougie?
01:23 A lot bougie.
01:25 Now, I don't know how you get the insides out.
01:27 Yeah, this might not have been the best design.
01:30 I think I need the softer avocado.
01:33 Starting over.
01:34 'Cause you gotta be able to pull those pieces out.
01:36 I'm gonna do a flower.
01:38 Oh yeah, this is the kind you gotta use.
01:40 Would you ever make these
01:41 outside of this situation right now?
01:43 1,000% no.
01:46 I mean, it could be a stress reliever.
01:48 What else could someone be doing with their time?
01:51 I'm getting the hang of it.
01:53 I only know how to do one kind of flower.
01:54 It's like the flower I used to draw in elementary school.
01:57 I feel like I need like a cuticle pusher.
02:02 It's looking good.
02:03 Is it meditative at all for you?
02:06 It is, it's...
02:07 Maybe that's why people do it.
02:11 You gonna do any else to your flower
02:15 or just leave it a flower?
02:17 One thing at a time.
02:19 I mean, what else would you do?
02:20 You should quit while you're ahead.
02:22 Do you feel really zen right now?
02:24 That's one word for it.
02:26 Voila.
02:29 Take that, internet.
02:32 It's like a three-year-old's art project
02:34 compared to a grownup's.
02:36 Now let's go have some margaritas and guacamole.
