Why the rug doesn't match the curtains

I went to the bathroom store and bought a bathmat. I told the lady how I liked the light green color, but it was safest to go with white, because once I bought a green rug to go with the green curtains in my bedroom, only to find when I got home that they were blue. And the rug was such a putrid green.

You wonder sometimes at garage sales what possessed people to buy some of the things – that rug was one of those things.
