me - "I wanna make a Canadian flag out of this pallet."
son - "Why?!?"
me - "Because my party is patriotic themed this weekend. Grandma had flags all over so we need one too. But I don't want this big huge red and white thing on the mantel..."

Awww... look. A message... (I swear it was there)
And a little Jeanne Oliver handbag on a sawhorse just sweetens the deal, doncha think?
My new messy bedroom gone to the dark side. Of Canada.
"Teddy! Are ya buyin' it?"
I think Canada just froze over.
