I'm just glad the curtains weren't black. Oh, the horror!
Imagine if the wallpaper were yellow.

i shudder to think at the number of Freudian applications my work wd. inspire in a classroom!
This happened to me in college. I really thought I "got" the poem but the prof said I completely misunderstood the poet's meaning!
This is essentially the single most important reason I'd get A-s in literature classes. Easy.
Weirder still, in situations where the text in question was of particularly little interest, it was actually fun trying to prove the exact opposite of what the author intended. IE "That the curtains were blue was actually observed & noted by [character] who was so engrossed in personal turmoil that his/her state of mind actively began to tint his/her views of the world..." (or something like that.) :D
@Kurasini - Took me a couple seconds to get that reference, very well done.
