Next time your at their house, try to flush a pillow. When they ask, shrug and say "it wouldn't go down" and walk out.

We have a male dog who does that only at other people's houses. Took longer than it should have to learn this. Oops.

I remember my odd dog who would pee on the carpet in the living room when everyone is asleep. I only caught him once when i was waiting for my father to get back home and I fell asleep in the living room.

I got down* to look close, I was surprised how good it looked.

now they make em out of plastic

The detail and nuance in the pattern and colors mixed together made it feel like a classic immediately. When the store clerk told me about the carpet I was imagining something terrible.

Probably wool (maybe wool and cotton) since it's held up for this long in a high traffic semi-public area and was installed around 1909.

Maybe, I didn't touch it.
