Daily Doodle - October 6, 2011

Our house turned 100 this year, so it’s old…and little. It’s got smaller rooms (indeed fewer rooms), smaller closets and smaller doors than most modern homes. Not that that bothered us when we moved in. We're little, too. (Well, one of us is!) We figured that since we didn't have that much stuff, we'd be fine. So I guess we shouldn’t have been too surprised when, after much shoving, twisting, turning and swearing, the movers informed us that our bed would not go up the stairs to our bedroom. It wouldn’t go through the bedroom windows either because (you guessed it) they’re small too.

That’s how we came to spend the first week in our new old house sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room, from where we admired our bed (sniff) resting against the bookcases in the dining room.
