Why Your Child is Fat

Last week we went to tour some model homes in the metroplex. No, we are not buying a new-build, but it was highly entertaining to be able to explore the house and indulge in the free drinks and snacks with someone who was looking. 😁 Our kids were highly entertained for an afternoon. 

We went upstairs in the model home. This particular house had a game room, separate media room, and three bedrooms upstairs with two bathrooms. In the game room, they had decorated it with some shelving and decor.

It looked fine, but upon closer inspection, I noticed a lot of the decor was created from very simple objects. I noticed there were a lot of blank books. I got curious because they looked like books with covers torn off. However, it may have been a very rustic version of bound blank paper. 

My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take one of the booklets off the shelf and flip through it to see what it was. Somehow by divine intervention or otherwise very "strange" luck, I flipped it open and  landed on a chapter title: Why Your child is Fat.

Just my luck.

After discovering this was in fact a real book with the covers torn off, I went to the front of the book to find out what kind of book I was actually holding with a chapter entitled "Why Your Child is Fat."

Ah, that clears it up. 

Clearly this was a book that ended up in the bargain pile or at goodwill and someone was looking for an inexpensive way to decorate a million dollar model home by ripping off the cover and displaying the blank page. Little did they know some overly curious visitor would dare to flip through one and reveal their secret! 

If you choose to copy this inexpensive design hack, I hope you keep in mind the curious people like me who will discover your secret. Choose wisely. 😂
