The Downfall..

I knew I'd jumped into it too soon, there was going to be a downfall inevitably. It happened on our journey to buy the paint at Homebase. We realised it was slightly late to go to the shop to get the wallpaper but rushed over there anyway, though once we got there, there were only 3 rolls of my selected wallpaper. This was how many we needed but 2 were from batch B5 and the other was from batch B4. Now, to me this sounds like a small combination to name a selection of wallpapers but with most things, for example baking. No two batches are the same. After lots of debate over what one to get, dad selelcted an alright wallpaper that wouldn't match the duck egg blue I had chosen for wall colours. None matched. In the end dad got pretty hacked off, marched back to the original wallpaper and bought it nonetheless.. Us having been in the shop more than half an hour when it should've taken 10 minutes or so. Following dad's moodiness due to lack of patience I got a rant the whole way home, which didn't even match up to the story, who has a go at someone for "being selfish" and "never thinking of anyone else" when the subject is wallpaper..?

Eventually, he said sorry.

Quote Of The Day:

Dad: How about this wallpaper?
Me: *Looks and pictures it in my mind*
Dad: You're annoyed with me now, I can tell. I've lived with you long enough to tell you're grumpy right now.
Me: Am I not allowed to think about something before jumping into it?

So I can't pause anymore in conversation I take it. That settles it, I must answer within milliseconds of the question being asked from now on. I think that's a small bit unreasonable on dad's part, expecting me to make a decision that effects my room for the next 3 years thereabouts in seconds of it leaving his lips.

Adios,
