Overheard at Ikea...

So I was at Ikea on Wednesday night. I went there to find a down comforter, but everything with feathers was being pulled from the shelves. When asked why, the sales clerk said it had to do with a safety issue. Bird flu feathers??

In any case, while I wandered around I witnessed the following exchange between an interracial couple (black woman/white man) shopping for furniture:

She: No, no, no. It doesn't have to match.

He: Well, I think it would be nice if it matched.

She: I'm telling you it doesn't have to match. Come on honey, WE don't match!

That made me smile all the way to the checkout line.
