1. Home & Garden

Discuss in my forum

I reached my limit the other night when I was watching a movie, and the recently-married couple painted their house interior with sheer joy.  True to the genre, painting was depicted as this happy communal event filled with humorous blunders:

  • He dabs paint on her nose.
  • She tomboyish-ly wears her cap backwards.
  • One of them teeters on a ladder.
  • Someone steps in a can of paint.
  • A fast-motion shot shows them rolling out an entire wall in 10 seconds.
  • Gaiety ensues.
  • So forth and so on.

I don't know of anybody who, once past that first wall, finds painting to be a goofy, fun-filled event.

Just saying.

You’ve got that right. It sounds great at first but all the mess and time is a pain. But, once it is finished, then the smiles can come out.
