IKEA, Continued

Last night, I got home from work to find that the black inner-tube vaaahhzz is now filled with bright red sticks. He has said nothing, and neither have I. The popular idom regarding the "elephant in the living room" will be forever supplanted in my family by the phrase "vaahhzz in the front hall".

How big are these red sticks?

Little twiggy things.

Bing once brought home a teapot with Luke Skywalker as the lid. He was riding some sort of big mammoth creature. That was the bottom of it. I told her that hell would freeze over before I used it. It now sits on her dresser....

She also bought a hideous bird bath, a white bowl with a big black crow perched on it. I told her that no bird would drink from it and I was right....

But, then, hey...I ALWAYS am....

Well twigs are in... Next perhaps he will fill the vase with scented oil as those diffuser sticks are all the rage now... :)

So are we talking curly red twigs or straight red twigs?

(I'm suddenly very grateful my husband doesn't go shopping!)

Kate said...

@Maria-LOL! Where does she get this stuff?

Kate said...

Straight. I'm contemplating vandalism.

If they were curly, maybe you'd like them... like my curly grass!

Maria.... Luke was riding a "Taun Taun" from the frozen ice-planet Hoth.

It's scary what the mind can recall sometimes. :)
