Adobe Photoshop

My wife’s dog scratches a particular door when he gets excited. So my wife and I went to Homer Depot to buy a new interior door several days ago. For me, something wasn’t right. I didn’t scratch the door. And it’s her dog. So why do I have to pay for it? I went crazy when I saw those outrageous prices. One interior door for 300 bucks? I told her that I was not going to pay $300 for the damage her dog made. Then I saw her angry face with hot steam around it. Maybe, I should have said it more nicely. We didn’t talk to each other for the next two days. Finally, I got an idea. I thought I could just design an interior door for myself. But how? Ahh, Adobe Photoshop!

And she gave me a big hug. That night…, you know?
