The Mushroom-Shaped Stain

After three years of random and half-hearted spot-cleaning, I finally scheduled for a deep carpet clean by Zerorez. Our carpet looked horrible with dark spots riddled throughout are living room. I don't even know where most of these spots came from! They would just show up one day - another blight on our poor apartment-quality beige carpets.
Well, in walks our new friend, and Zerorez carpet cleaner, Eduardo!
Nathan, who if you've never met loves people and loves holding the hands of tour guides and those barely acquaintances, gets up from the breakfast table, runs to Eduardo, and grabs his hand while he shouts, "Yes! And can you please help us get this stain out! Here, let me show you... it is a mushroom-shaped stain (of which I, Janna, had never heard a complaint against or even noticed) and can you please get it out, because I hate mushrooms!"
Alynna is in the background spreading more propaganda about mushrooms by happily remarking that she's allergic to mushrooms. She is not... allergic to mushrooms.
Thankfully, Educardo, doesn't seem to care for mushrooms either, because the stain is GONE! It's so lovely to walk into a home with clean carpets. :) So now we're becoming one of those families - the kind of family who takes shoes off at the door. The kind of family who only eats in the dining room (unless you're old enough to drive).
Yes, we have lovely looking carpets again.
Eduardo, we'll see you next year when maybe we'll have a stain in the shape of zucchini for Kaeley's sake.
