The Prophet of Paint

The other day while heading to an appointment for a color consultation, I was searching for some cool tunes when I stumbled upon a radio talk show with a guest who was a prophet. He was sharing information with callers and I was intrigued...
The first caller was a mom of 2 who was told that she would have 2 additional children in her care for the summer. She was not very happy with that bit of knowledge.
The second caller was a man who seemed to be skeptical about the prophet from the start. He wasn’t very talkative; I assumed that he didn’t want to give the prophet anything to work with.
The prophet began by saying that he was getting a very strong smell of paint. He proceeded to ask the caller if he was an artist, a painter or in the process of painting. The caller answered his questions very cautiously, giving one word responses; mostly, “no”. After one very long pause, the caller stated “No sir; we’re not doing any painting at all. My wife said to me the other day that she wanted to replace the carpet in our bedroom, but that's it”. The prophet and the talk show host burst into hysterical laughter and the prophet said, "If you replace that carpet, you will definitely be painting! The carpet is just the beginning my friend.” Very funny! Once they all composed themselves, the prophet moved onto the next caller and I moved on as well.
My thoughts however turned toward the advances that many paint companies have made by creating Low to No-VOC paints. The next time you plan to paint, do yourself a favor and choose a paint that is healthier for you, your family and the environment. You'll be delighted as you will not have to suffer through the awful odors of yesteryear; toxic gases which are released as the paint dries.

Ladies, if your husbands happen upon a prophet who could foil/spoil your crafty redecorating plans, he won’t be able to smell this paint!
