What Were They Thinking?

Thing No. 68

Okay, so it's happened to all of us. You move into a new place and you slowly (or quickly!) end up discovering a lot of things that i) weren't immediately apparent pre-signing on the dotted line; and ii) make you shake your head and think "whatever was it that they were thinking?"

Well, just this week, more than a year after moving into Chez Nous, I discovered Thing No. 68: Tucked away on a small section of wall in the downstairs hallway is one of the unique-est picture hanging instruments that I have ever seen. And I do mean ever. There on the wall, neatly painted the same white as said wall, is an upside down flat thumbtack that has been glued onto the wall with its needle part sticking out offering itself as a picture nail! I'se just can't believe it!

Of course, rather than dig it out and use a regular picture nail or hook, I had to try it out. So far, so good, the picture holds. Who knows, maybe this time, they were actually on to something....
