James Barrett's Wife
About
James Barrett's Wife refers to a screenshot of a Facebook Messenger conversation between a man name James Barrett and a woman. Barrett asks the woman what she's doing tonight, and she says "drawing vegetables." The next messages, which appear to have been sent at four in the morning, are from Barrett's wife, telling the "vegetable artist" to stay away from her husband. The post spawned a thread of the original poster using the scenario to make object labeling memes about the situation.
Origin
On July 28th, 2018, Facebook user Daniella Gay[1] posted a screenshot of a chat between James Barrett and a woman who would come to be known as the "vegetable artist." Her post gained over 2,200 likes and 5,000 shares (shown below).

Facebook user Caitlin Nolan[3] posted all of the memes in a photoset the following day. The original thread was linked to on Zarpgaming[2] shortly after. A thread with many of the memes also appeared on Imgur that week.[4] The original post was posted to Tumblr on July 29th by user Sierraseybold,[5] and the memes were added by user thehappy-landfill.[6]
