When I was well, I flitted in and out of my house, noticing the kids' clothes strewn about, the crusted dishes in the sink, the hair in the shower drain.
Oh well, I thought, such is life.
But when I became sick, I started to notice bigger things. Or maybe the little things seemed bigger.
Like the chipped paint on the gutters. The dull walls that needed a "Pop!" The dilapidated dining table (a dump site for clean laundry) abused for years by kids, including one who drew on it with a Sharpie.
What does pop the walls mean here?
@Justin Xu,
The walls need a pop of color. In other words, the walls need a paint job.
It is not "popping the walls", it means walls that pop (are painted with exciting colors)
