Next Up, Drinking Red Wine and Gesticulating Wildly
Posted by Moose on October 20th, 2007. Filed under: Adventures.What could be stupider than buying a white couch?
Inviting the neighbor’s three-legged black cat to nap on it. After using it as base camp one for operation Lick Kitty Ass. Meanwhile, the dog stares at the cat, whimpering in a tone that means “I want to eat the cat! I want to EAT THE CAT!” Which would, of course, be messy.
Also stupid? Storing the grape harvest (in all its juicy purple glory) not two feet away from brand new white couch.

While impractical for my life in nearly every way, I find myself drawn to your gorgeous new couch…I can train the baby not to go near it, right? RIGHT?

Grape harvest? Where did you get a grape harvest? Want me to come over with my new Wellington boots and we can stomp on it and turn it into wine?

Oy vey! Not good! But if you turn those grapes into wine, I’m sure all your troubles will melt away.

Oh I can do you one better. I bought a white couch when I was 8 months pregnant with my first child thinking, how messy can a child possibly be?
Turns out kids are disgusting.

Can a white couch exist in a world of husbands and small dogs?

Is the cat really three-legged?

This is why I love my red couch. Well, on of the myriad reasons. Though I do go ballistic if you get near it with a pen (ahem, 5 year old menace with pen!!!). White couches are great if they are slip-covered white, meaning machine-washable.
And your grape harvest looks soooo good. I didn’t pick any this year and I’m regretting it looking at that picture.
