Lace Doily
A piece of fabric that your grandma thinks is important. It’s on the table, and no one knows why. It’s like having a pretty but clueless coworker who talks too much and doesn’t do anything.
My grandma’s doily is so important, it has its own Instagram account.
That doily has been there since I was born. It’s still not doing anything.
The doily is still there. The lamp is still broken. The plant is still dead.
