TRUTH

Why do old refrigerators come
in a variety of colors?
That's fine for
little old ladies
with no family.
Any mother, though, knows this truth:
Buy the white one;
it costs less,
and,
besides,
with kids,
the front is always covered with pictures,
made from finger paints,
crayons,
and markers.
Why pay more for an avocado green
you'll ever see?
Written after looking at a refrigerator covered with kids' art. From Love, Feelings and the Seasons of Life, which is looking for a publishing home.
