Life, uncorked.

Really, I like pink. I like it a lot. Pink is great protection against too much testosterone in the house. So, you’ll just excuse this little rant, won’t you?

Dear Retail Stores,

(yes, this means ALL of you! Linens and Things, Walmart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls…just to name a few…)

There are moms who have BOYS who are going to college this month too. Surprisingly, not all incoming Freshmen are females. Honest.

The males? They are not interested in pink sheets with lime green stripes. They aren’t into the whole brown with bright blue circle thing. They aren’t into fluffy bedspreads. Or zebra stripes. So, I realize that most females think that decorating their dorm rooms is a big deal…and most of the boys might not be that into it. But more than a handful…or none at all… in the not pink, no circles, no lime green selection of sheets would be nice.

PLEASE can you just make some good old gray sheets? Or black ones? Heck, I’d take beige at this point. Oh, and if you don’t mind? Dorms=twin sized sheets. So those over abundance of bright pink and lime king-sized sheets? Yeah, I don’t think they’re really going to sell very well for you.

My last babies are headed off to college, so this rant won’t help me one bit. But I send this letter to you, stupid retail stores in hopes of making it easier on the mothers of sons that follow me in their quest for just one darn set of twin sized sheets their son won’t be embarrassed to have on his bed.

Helpful hint to clueless retail stores…Males need sheets to go to college too.

Ever the helpful,
Kacey

P.S. To those moms out there with daughters who are making sure their bath towels match their sheets and match their bedspreads… :rofl: At least I don’t have to worry about that!
