Painting Pains

Anna was just about ready to own her first house. It was beautiful. She and her husband were having it built and had opted into a program called sweat equity. Meaning they were going to paint the inside of the house and the money that would have been paid to a painting contractor was going toward their down payment. They had picked out a subtle rose tone of white paint to do the upper 2/3 of the walls in the formal living room, and over the vaulted ceiling to the kitchen. But when they started painting they found that the type of light in the room made the paint look salmon pink. They were so horrified that Anna’s husband asked her to go to the store and buy white paint. She got to the store and looked through the cards she found the whitest color possible and had 10 gallons mixed up of “White Dawn”. Her husband questioned her
“Why didn’t you just buy white paint?”
“I did. It was the whitest card n the rack”.
‘Why did't you just pull the cans off the shelf?”
“You can do that?”
In the end White Dawn was actually lavender. It was like a Skittle factory had exploded inside Anna's lovely home.
