Ah, The Gentle Ooze of Molten Lava
So I was talking to Sam about a dresser I want to refinish for his room. And I was telling him I thought we could choose maybe two colors and paint and stencil it. He got very excited, stating that he wants it to be purple (there’s a shocker). Then he added that it should be “purple with fire!”
So I explained that I was thinking something maybe a bit calmer, you know, since his bedroom is for sleeping and stuff. We really needed to think of something nice and relaxing.
He thought for a millisecond and then said, “Oh! Lava! Lava is relaxing.”
“Uuuuummmm. . . really? I was thinking of something like water or flowers or leaves . . .”
“No! It has to be something that burns people! Fire! Or lava!”
“So you want a purple dresser with fire and/or lava painted on it?”
“Yes!”
Well, so glad I asked.
I would LOVE to see how he would decorate your house if it was up to him!
A hot rod dresser! Bitchin’!
I’d only worry if when he’s 16, he want to drive a station wagon with wood panelling. Something got mixed up in there somewhere…
Purplish dusky sky… with a Mexican oozing volcano a la epcot

Hilarious! Lava IS relaxing. ?
One time a saw a purple PT Cruiser with blue flames and it looked really cool, so maybe you should consider it.
Surely they make one of those “nature sounds” CDs of a volcano erupting, you know, all the peaceful lava-y gurgle, gurgle, gurgles? That’s go great with the dresser …
