Why don't I put my fingers on the white walls

White is a great colour for walls until it is denigrated by external factors. Or at least that's what my father thinks. And (unfortunately) so do I.

I walk down the stairs of my parents' house. I carry a full suitcase, it is already summer holiday time. I almost reach the ground floor, but then it happens: I brush the wall with my suitcase. "Damn," and I start to break into a cold sweat. I fervently hope my father didn't hear anything.

Hail the white walls

Clean up and go

In the meantime, I have learnt how to remove certain stains without using brushes and paint. In fact, if you tap on the fresh stain with a damp cloth, no marks should remain. A kind of magic sponge is also suitable for larger stains. Dampen it, dab it on the dark spot and gone are the traces. I wish I had known these tricks as a child. I would have saved the trip to my father's confessional. .

Do you have your peculiarities too? No matter if inherited, acquired or spontaneously mutated, leave a comment and let me know. Shared suffering is half suffering.
