Decorator's Taste

It's funny how even when your kids are driving you the most crazy, they can suddenly crack you up.

Just last night I'd had enough. Enough bickering. Enough complaining. Just...enough. In exasperation I told the kids, "Just go watch T.V."

Yup, my Mother of the Year award should arrive any day now.

So they went into the living room and hit the power button on the television. It came as no surprise to me that the T.V. turned on to HGTV, since that's about the only network I've been watching lately. What did surprise me is that the kids sat and happily watched it!

Apparently, House Hunter's is their new favorite show. And they sat and commented to each other about each potential property like an old married couple.

"Ooh, that one has the nicest backyard."

"Yes, but the bathroom is so small."

What? Huh? Since when do a six-year-old and an eight-year-old care about real estate?

This morning my son declared that Designer's Challenge is his favorite show. My husband will be so proud when he gets home.

Of course, my son forces me to watch hockey all day long too. That should make Daddy's heart burst out of his chest. And free me up for more HGTV.
