Scenes from Life: Gnome Decor

Zack: What are we going to put in the Virgin Mary Display Alcove?
Sarah: You mean the display shelf when you walk into the house?
Zack: Yeah.
Sarah: I don’t know. I was thinking we’d hang Jenn’s Birch Tree painting.
Zack: It’s not wide enough for that.
Sarah: Seriously? The painting’s not that big!
Zack: No, for real. It’s like, this big.
Sarah: Why, what do you want to put there?
Zack: I was thinking about The Gnome.
Sarah: Old Man Martin?
Zack: Yeah. But he needs to be all one color.
Sarah: We could paint him all white.
Zack: I was thinking silver.
Sarah: I like white better.
Zack: <to the tune of “Silver Bells”>”Silver Gnome! Silver Gnome! It’s moving time in our new home! Silver Gnome! Silver Gnome! Soon it will be moving dayyyyy!”
Sarah: Okay, fine. Silver is fine.
Zack: It’d be even cooler if we could get it to have a mirrored shine. Like chrome.
Sarah: Chrome Gnome?
Zack: I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THAT! IT’S SETTLED! CHROME GNOME IT IS!
Sarah: Okay.
Zack: Seriously?!
Sarah: Seriously. Let’s do it.
