We decided to put carpets in our three tiny kids bedrooms to make them a little more cozy. So, the six of us loaded up in the van and drove to the Carpet Store. Jeff and I were decisive. Beige, soft, eco-corn -- done.
Then came the whining. The kids ganged up - it was purple or bust. And everyone in the store knew it. The expression of entitlement, at a carpet store no less, rubbed Jeff and me the wrong way.
So we came up with a solution: Finger-knitting. I'm sure they'll finger-knit a lovely purple carpet. Rainbow color for John.

ReplyDeletePurple hides dirt too!
ReplyDeleteour entire basement is purple - the boys' bedroom, the hallway and the rec room. I was the one who threw the fit though, not the kids! Good for you - it's tough to not give in, especially in public. Rock on!
