1. Between the boys and the dogs, I gave up! |
|
I can't really blame the dogs but the boys can't seem to leave their boots outside.

"Mud rooms" (preferably a two-word expression) actually is a good name for a part of the house expressly dedicated to storage of snow-covered, muddy footwear. When I was a kid growing up in New York, our "mud room" was the front porch. Anyone caught coming in the main part of the house with wet, snow-covered, and/or muddy shoes or boots had their footwear thrown away. Mom didn't fool around.
Leave it to a Southerner to come up with an expression for something we Northerners take for granted (granted, I used to live in the South for exactly 19 years to the date). Well, ya gotta give credit where credit is due.
