There's a Blue Elephant in the Living Room

If no one says anything, then everything's fine.

That's my family motto.

How can anything be wrong if nothing is mentioned. So, we put on a smile and waltz through our lives pretending to be oblivious to the humungous elephant occupying our living room. I'd like to think this elephant is 17ft tall, baby blue in colour and fits snugly in between the armchair and coffee table. It follows us around. Everywhere. The porch, the kitchen, the shop where we buy bread.

We won't be left alone until someone talks about it. But YOU know. And I know. That's not going to happen. So we will be plagued by this blue elephant until someone goes insane or I hang myself.

Ignorance really is bliss.
