Shelley was openly weeping in her kitchen one day, bemoaning the state of her cabinets.
“White! I want white cabinets!” she wailed.
Her husband approached her warily. “I hate to be Captain Obvious here, but we, uh, actually HAVE white cabinets.”
Shelley raised her tear-stained face and narrowed her eyes into slits. “No,” she hissed. “You’re wrong. Can’t you see? We have … OFF-WHITE cabinets!!!”
And once Shelley had painted her off-white cabinets white, her husband saw the error of his foolish ways.
Of course, once she painted the cabinets white, the beige-y backsplash had to get a makeover too, and she also decided that she would incorporate more of the countertop color by doing gray paint on the bottom, and I made most of this story up, but I’m sure it probably happened pretty much just like that.
