Funny Household Items Have Better Boundaries Than Most People I Know

I judge people by their kitchens, and the most honest people I know keep funny household items that say what they can’t say at a dinner party. My favorite has better boundaries than I do.

Funny household items like this speckled mug stamped with the words Respectfully, no.

My husband asked if that mug was passive aggressive, and I told him to read it again. The rest of the house is just as honest.

DEEP FERAL NEED FOR ANTIQUE TRINKETS T-SHIRT

The swearing pottery is where I feel most at home. There is something deeply comforting about a hand thrown jar that says exactly what I yell when I stub my toe, and funny home decor is just the craft fair finally admitting we are all a little feral. I own a key dish. I have never once put my keys in it, so finding one with my exact complaint glazed inside felt like being served papers.

Then there are the cozy ones, the crochet burger coasters and knitted sneaker slippers, which are basically funny kitchen gadgets for people who would rather stay on the couch. Funny housewarming gifts used to mean a candle. Now it is a doormat warning guests that you are probably naked, and honestly, that is just good communication.

Under all the profanity, these things are love letters to the people we live with. A bowl that tells you to chew quieter is only funny because somebody in your house chews like a cement mixer and you have chosen to stay anyway. I would rather say it with pottery than say it in couples counseling. It is cheaper, and the pottery is dishwasher safe.

My keys are still missing, but at least the dish is honest about it.

I went straight from these to Weird Home Decor That Made Me Respect Professional Designers, and then lost a whole hour to Home Decor Humor: 35 Hilarious Items That Prove You Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously. My cart is full, and my apartment is not ready for it.
