I was working in the carpet store one day, and a woman came in with five kids in tow. I'm no expert, but they looked like they were all under five years old. I hustled right up to her to see what she needed, and it turns out, she came in to shop for new carpet for her living room. When I asked her about color preferences, she reached into her pocket, fished around for a minute and came out with her hand closed. She opened it in front of my face, and it was a handful of brown dirt. She smiled a funny little smile and said "Match this." We enjoyed a nice laugh, shopped for dirt-colored carpet, and I got the order!
