I've got a bone to pick with Silly Putty. 😠 My son turned our home into his personal Silly Putty playground, and I spent hours carefully and meticulously removing it off every surface imaginable. 😫 But enough about my putty woes; let's talk about the real estate world's latest bombshell! 💣

It stuck in the hair, on chairs, everywhere,
In pockets, it turned to goo, so muddy.
