A Peek into the Intimate Intellectual Life of a Long-Married Couple, Part 28:
Me: "Can this serving spoon go into the dishwasher?"
Karen: "Yes."
Me: "I never know which can and which can't."
Karen: "Two of them are stainless steel and can go in the dishwasher. One is silver-plate and shouldn't."
Me: "I can't tell them apart."
Karen: "They're very different."
Me: "Not when you're only looking at one of them."
Karen: "The sliver-plate spoon has a daffodil pattern."
Me: "Now I have to be a BOTANIST?!"
Karen: "It's pretty obvious."
Me: "I'll just keep asking to be sure."
This has been a peek into the intimate intellectual life of a long-married couple.
