You can’t handle the truth.

As I’ve mentioned before, I love Larry David. Prettyyy, prettyyy, prettyyy much anything he’s ever done.

I know a lot of people who don’t like his show Curb Your Enthusiasm because of all the confrontation he creates.

I love it because he’s just doing what no one ever does – speaks his mind and calls people out on their bullshit.

But like Jack Nicholson screams at Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men:

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Neither can I. I’m actually quite sensitive 😂

But something he does really well, other than confrontation, is pointing out things that are ridiculous or don’t make sense.

I find myself going through life thinking more and more like LD. Not as confrontational as he is, (although I may be getting there 😬) but noticing things that don’t make sense.

For instance, if you go to the artwork section of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, you can always find a painting of a bathroom to put in your own bathroom.

Why would anyone hang a painting OF a bathroom IN their bathroom?

Maybe it’s so people will focus on the perpetually clean bathroom in the painting instead of the ring around your toilet 🤷🏻‍♀️

The same goes for kitchen art. It’s usually a Parisian Café with black wrought iron tables and chairs.

This one makes a little more sense. I’d imagine that while you’re sitting at your sorry table from Ikea, (not judging, mine is too) you’d rather be on the French Riviera sipping espresso.

Instead you’re gulping down the lukewarm Breakfast Blend K-Cup you made yourself a half hour ago while your baby is throwing Cheerios at your head from his high chair. (My former life.)

I almost didn’t write this next one because I’m probably going to insult a lot of people and if I do, I’m sorry … I guess? Not really. Again, I’m just one person – who cares what I think? Here it goes:

Decorative signage.

I’m not sure which is worse, the obvious ones like ‘KITCHEN’ when you’re in the kitchen – ‘Really? Is that where I am? The refrigerator never would’ve tipped me off.’ or the signage that has absolutely nothing to do with your home.

For instance, (and I cannot believe I’m going to write this because she’s my idol) Joanna Gaines has a giant PHARMACIE sign in her kitchen.

Really Jo? Do you keep the drugs in the cabinets and drawers? Are they a specific type of French pharmaceutical because it’s spelled with an IE instead of a Y? Is your flour jar really filled with Goody’s Powder?

I’ll let this go because she is flawless and impeccable in every other way.

And really, she’s the one rolling in the dough (literally and figuratively) so she obviously knows what she’s doing more than I do, so I’ll shut up now.
