My husband decided to decorate our living room last weekend. He bought a wonderful blue paint for the walls and brown for the floor. I helped him put the furniture into the middle of the room. I didn't want the paint to fall onto our chairs and tables.<br />He painted the walls all day on Saturday. On Sunday, I went out with some friends. When I left, he was getting ready to paint the floor. I was away for about three hours. When I returned, I found him sitting in the corner of the room. All the floor was brown except the place where he was sitting.<br />What are you doing there? I asked in a surprising way. I have painted myself into the corner of the room. He said, I can walk across the wet paint. I shall have to stay here for four hours until the paint becomes dry.<br />My husband decided to decorate our living room last weekend.
