The compendium of fabric-buying justifications (Chapter 3)



Statement: Fabric? What fabric?

Situation: Passing off fabric as hardware to the Man of The House (MOTH).

Context: Chalkboard cloth.

Success rate: Clearly a high risk, but potentially high return strategy. Hinges on whether the MOTH subscribes to the if-it-looks-like-a-duck-and-sounds-like-a-duck philosophy.

Regarding the example above, I have only one thing to say: quack, quack.

  1. I can't wait for more justifications, as I'm rapidly running out of storage space, and my usual vague excuse that "It's for an experiment" coupled with a sage head nod seems to be wearing thin these days.

  2. quack ;) I don't see any fabric.

    Wouldn't work here :/ since every time I buy fabric hubby is usually in the same store. hmm could maybe say its for school so its being used for an educational purpose :p

  10. Yes , well , allow me to help you with the justification process ! Does MOTH ever complain that you forgot to buy something at the market? Just ask MOTH to quickly jot it down on your new noticeboard to remind you !
