I bought some new cushions for the fire pit chairs this year. I was taking the tags off and remembered a funny story...
So… one day he was cleaning his room, a weekly mission as far as I can recall. Not only brilliant, but not your typical guy, or kid for that matter. As a teen he pulled furniture away from the wall to clean behind, he dusted, he straightened, he organized. Me? Imagine the opposite end of the spectrum. My mother's motto was change your bed every Saturday Linda and keep your door closed so I don't have to see how you choose to live!
Oh, but back to my brother… One day, in cleaning his room, he inadvertently tore off the UNDER PENALTY OF LAW tag from his mattress. What to do? Not sure if it said 'except by the consumer' in the 60's, but he got darn worried he would be in trouble with the law. He got my mom's seeing kit (who knew she knew how to sew?) and sewed the tag back on!
Years and years later he told us that story at a family reunion; we all got a good laugh.
