Me: D! Looka these cute salt and pepper shakers! I was looking for the perfect ones and I think I found them! (does happy dance) Don't you love them.
D: Nope. Not even a little.
Me: WHAT?! You're kidding? They are totally sweet.
D: I hate them.
Me: Why do you hate them? How could you possibly hate the cute little mushrooms and the awesome color combo?
D: Those two things are what I hate about them.
Me: WHAT?! But I want to buy them.
D: No. I forbid you to buy them.
Me: Let's make a deal. We will ask random people what they think of them. For each person that likes them, I get a point. For each person that doesn't you get a point. The most points win.
D: Fine. We can play your game, but I still forbid you to buy them.
The first person we asked was a woman that worked at the market.
Me: Aren't these the cutest shakers you've ever seen?
The sales Lady With Terrible Taste: (Looks at me with a look of disgust on her face) Are you kidding?
Me: No, they are totally sweet.
TSLWTT: They are awful. I got something like that for a wedding present in the 70s. I threw them away.
Me: Seriously?
TSLWTT: Yup. They are ugly.
So that counted as a point for D. I asked two other people and they thought they were cute. But then D says, "I forbid you to buy them though. So it doesn't matter how many points you get."
I replied, "okay." And I bought them anyways.
And I love them.
So, who was right? Are they totally cute? Or am I delusional?
um YEAH they are totally cute. They would be delightful with that full set of Franciscan Woodlore dishes that I foolishly passed up in the 90s (and regret to this day). He doesn't want you to live with regret does he? I thought not.

ReplyDeleteI think they're cute and totally match with a 70's themed kitchen. :)
