The Papa Lai Interior Design Philosophy

Duckie lives out-of-state and very far away from Mama and Papa Lai.  To make us all feel included in her life, she often sends us e-mails with photos.  She recently sent us a photo of her living room where she hung some photos above her living room couch with the subject line: "My Newly Decorated Living Room."

Papa Lai looked at the photo and felt something was missing:

"How come there's no photo of me on your wall?"

Mama Lai wrote:

"Hahaha...your daddy is so silly.  We're not dead yet.  Who puts up photos of their parents when they are not dead?"

Then Papa Lai came up with an even better idea:

"How about a photo of Martina McBride??" 

Mama Lai replied:

"See?  Men are so selfish.  They think what they like everyone likes.  I think you should put up a picture of a nice duck on your wall."

Papa Lai, not to be out of done, sends us a YouTube video of Martina McBride on Sesame Street, singing with Elmo.

"You like Elmo?  He once sang a duet with Martina.  How about a picture of Elmo on your wall?"

And never once did Duckie mention that she thought she was missing anything on her wall or needed suggestions for decorating.  :)
