So, it’s common knowledge that men typically are not good decorators, except Robin’s hubby, who would take tips from Martha Stewart. Other than him, though, I think we can all agree on men’s decorating habits.
My dad (and I got permission on this one to give him a hard time) has quite the idea when it comes to decorating. Apparently, all you need is one extra sheet and a couple of binder clips.
For years, I thought that my dad was decorating on the fly, intending to go with something more permanent later on. After nine or ten years of this, though, I have finally realized that this IS the real deal.
At least he doesn’t have tin foil on the windows.

Must make me a man too.
However, two pieces of ductape at each corner will hold the sheet too.

How do we know he doesn’t have tin foil on the windows? He’s obviously hiding something.

My dad wouldn’t have even noticed that something needed to be done. My mother would have decoupaged something hideous to match the sheet.

Robin: Very good. Very very good.
Slut: No, it just makes you white trash.
Dmarks: I am so with you. I love duct tape. It fixes EVERYTHING.
Genius: OMG, you have no idea. when it looked like I was going to be moving here, he kept asking me what color curtains I wanted for every room. I am like, dude, the walls are fake wood, the carpet is baby-shit brown, and all the blinds need to be replaced. I think we can hold off on curtains for now.
Whall: We reserve the tin foil for hats to keep the aliens from reading our minds. And we reuse it.
Narf: Now that’s better. That, I could see.
Kelley: My mom redecorated the house I grew up in. She put in a pink toilet with a blue bathtub. Does that sound like your mom?
