Brutal Honesty

I am washing couch cushion covers today. (Try saying that 5 times fast!!) It is a task not to my liking. After wrestling the covers off I am finding the actual cushions to be losing their cotton batting and the batting they do have is matted and torn and OH BOO HOO!! Why have I undertaken a chore such as this? Joshua yelled this comment at me earlier today..."Hey Mom, our couch smells like farts!"

Tell Pat no more farting on the couch.

Methinks Joshua must shoulder the lions share of responsibility!!

ya'know...it was inevitable but why did my name need to be combined with the reason for the stinking couches?

Since Josh made the farting connection why don't we ask him why the couch stinks? He told me today that he thinks it's because we don't wipe good enough...nice!

He is using deductive reasoning, there, Pat. You gotta give him that.

I call em like I see em. Or hear em. Or smell em I guess. Don't shoot the messenger, people.

Oh the frustration. Somedays are just like that aren't they?

Carla said...

Actually Cara, I needed the comic relief today!! Joshua keeps me laughing more often than not. :)

I'd like to thank you all for this, right in the middle of my breakfast. Ask yourself this, though. Wouldn't you rather have a couch that smells like farts than urine? We should have a contest to see whose couch is stinkier.

Hannah said at least it doesn't smell like dirty deeds thunder chief...

Dear boss,
A friend of mine is having a problem with her couch. It smells like farts. Any sugestions?

Erin--
I think she should probably just get a new couch. We may be 3M, inventors of the Post-It and other genius products, but we have not yet found a way to remove the "fart smell" from upholstery or foam cushions. Send her my best.
Boss


Well, there you have it.

Dear Erin,
Thanks for trying! I need to start a Couch Fund I guess.
