I am on the phone with my mom and I tell her I am tired because I have been painting the baby's room over the past three days.
Mom: Take care of yourself first. Make sure you don't exhaust yourself over painting a room. 
My husband checks the room: It looks great but maybe you should have had read a guidebook to how to be a skilled painter.
Mother-in-law who is visiting us from another state: The room looks good even when the lights aren't on. The baby walks in and looks around and wants to touch and taste the new lemon color.
