So you're saying that if I buy the mermaid bedding I'm setting myself up for a lifetime of resentment, plus being relegated to an uncomfortable bed when I am old?
Yes. Also, you should be aware that the resentment could take on other forms. She could, for example, turn to a life of cheering for the Yankees. Cheering for the "wrong" sports team was a major resentment outlet for my sister and she never went back to the "right" team. How good are those mermaids looking to you now ;-)
(Why did your bedroom have to match a bathroom that was across the hall and wasn't even yours?!
Because a guest walking down the hallway to the bathroom would be able to see into my room and therefore it was important that it complement the colours in the bathroom.
And why couldn't they paint the bathroom yellow?!)
Because the brown accents in the bathroom wouldn't go with the yellow I wanted. And the brown accents in the bathroom were there to match the brown carpet in the hall which matched the brown carpet in the living room and the living room carpet was brown because the furniture was brown and cream because my mother wanted to have a living room decorated in brown, cream, and pink.
