Nightstand Wars...as shown in Exhibits A, B and C.





Exhibit A.
While out shopping for "necessities" in the Target clearance aisle,
{where all necessities are found} the wife spotted a deal of the century.
Nightstands originally $130.00 a piece marked down to $26.99 each!
The husband had been wanting nightstands since they
were married 20 years and 9 months ago..but it was just one of those things the
couple had never gotten around to purchasing...
..or building as the husband had wanted to do.

The husband was away for the week working.
The wife was very excited to surprise her husband when he came back that weekend.
She excitedly set up the nightstands in the bedroom with all the nightstand essentials...
..like plants and old books and Milk Glass lamps and staged coffee cups.

Exhibit B.

After praising the wife for her discovery, he quickly said his nightstand would
not "work" with plants and books and a girly Milk Glass lamp.
I believe the exact words he used were...
"Ummm...No Way".

The husband quickly changed his nightstand to look like a
"Man's nightstand" and not a "frilly, girly, crafted up nightstand."

The wife felt a heavy annoyance within as she watched her husband load up the
pretty new nightstand with wires and chargers and Apple watch stands and
virtual reality glasses and other electronic things with wires. {not pictured}

The nightstand that you see right when you walk into
the couples bedroom, now looked "manly".
...manly like a college dorm room.
...manly like a clearance table at Best Buy!{..minus his Bible of course}

Who leans their leather briefcase against a nightstand anyway?
All men? ...asked the wife.


Exhibit C.
Each week after the husband leaves for work...the wife puts away
all the manly items until the weekend when the husband arrives back home.

It's the one and only perk to having him gone throughout the week...
the wife can walk into her bedroom and see a more pinterest-esque nightstand.

This is called compromise...sort of.
