to my room. One of my children, I won't tell you who, went after Christmas shopping with Hot Rocks and came back with **THREE** doormats. Not one, not two, but THREE!! Even on clearance I wouldn't have bought that many. I assumed that they were all for me when the child pulled them out to show me.
All I can say is I was wrong, they weren't all for me, one was for this particular child. This is how I was informed of which ones belonged to who:
"Mom, I bet you thought these were all for you. But they aren't. Two are and one is for my room."
In my mind, I am thinking "What is this child talking about?" so I asked "Where are you going to put it?"
The child's reply, "In front of my door so that I can keep my boots there and wipe my feet before I go into my room."
All I could say at this point was "O.K.". I think because I was just a little stunned at the whole concept of needing a doormat at their bedroom door.
Needless to say, the child has kept their word and keeps their boots there.
At least "the child" is keeping the carpet in their room clean! I tell ya - SHE'S A SMART ONE!!!
