I might be a carpenter now, but I'm not Jewish

So I’ve just been building some furniture. Nothing exquisite, just some small wooden cubes that will do double duty as coffee table and additional seating. It’s actually been quite fun. I came up with the design (very simple), bought the materials, cut, assembled, and varnished them. Then I attached foam to the outer surface. Today, mom and I (she is very handy) worked on upholstering them. She then decided that they needed to be lined inside. That was okay, except for the fact that I had already suggested that (a suggestion she vetoed, incidentally, requiring me to buy the nice plywood and varnish it, now all for naught). But hey, who’s bitter? Not me! They really will be quite cute when they are finished. I’ll take a picture and if I can figure out how to post it, I shall do so.
