#1 Daughter started it. In one of her temper tantrums, she threw a Barbie car (a $50 car. $50 for a plastic car that you and I used to pick up for $1 for 5) and it put a hole in the drywall.

Ok, good husband and father went and patch up the hole. Tape it up and put a fresh coat of drywall mud on it and sand it back down. Good husband and father got out the old paint chips that we (read she) decided to paint it on.

Only trouble is after 4 years, the sun has faded the colours and the new paint don't match ... and whose fault is that? Mine. I should have known about the fade and adjusted it accordiningly. Just how the hell do you adjust for fade?

Ok, good husband and father got an extremely simple solution. I'll just paint the room white.

Good husband and father is apparently an idiot. White somehow ain't a colour.
