Three's two many

Three's two many. One is just enough for two. Three potatoes is more than enough compared to four, unless, of course, there are five. I always reach for the fifth ornament, unless, of course, people are watching, in which case three is two many and one is enough for two. My mother always complains that I keep two much 'garbage'. Beautiful, colorful, fancy but modest, ancient but modern works of waste. Bails, pints, bins, cupboards and boxes. Large amounts of stuff look better than one.
