Are you KIDDING me?!?!

The answer you've been waiting for is below! I ask you, What is wrong with this picture????

I allowed 24 hours before I revealed to you what is wrong here. My good friend Stan came the closest in the least words (at least I think he did). Anjie was a VERY close second with the white carpet comment.

The problems with this picture are as follows:
1) A child under the age of two is using a sippy-less cup on carpet.
2) The cup is a GLASS cup. Who gives a baby a glass glass???
3) Do you see how FULL that glass is??? There's no way that kid is going to handle that without spilling.
4) The carpet is white. Please, I thought I was being smart getting beige carpet. I thought I would keep up with all the little black spots that mysteriously (and not to mysteriously) appear. That lasted until Brady was 6 months old. Anjie was right, no carpet is that white.
5) The reason the kid is smiling is because he knows he's going to make Mom lose it when he dumps the staining offender all over himself and the floor.

This was from an ad for Woolite Carpet cleaner. It says "Grape juice and carpet can finally coexist." I give the marketing department a B for effort. The graphics team a B-. But any REAL mom knows that the only way grape juice and carpet can coexist is in the hands of a mature and responsible person. And sometimes not even then.

Do you ever feel cheated by life? I sure do. We came out here thinking we were doing the right thing. We felt strong. We felt changed. We felt confident that things were gonna get better.

Just to update you, they haven't.
