Real women* talk their husbands into buying a nice expensive set of kitchen utensils that hang off a rail..
..and then inform them that they're just 'for show'. What the fuckity fuck?!? I asked her what colour the sky was on her planet**. This did not go down well.

*well, the one I married
**may have also called her a 'mentalist' at this point

alt: I'm reading a James Patterson book during my lunch breaks because it allows my brain to wind down for a bit. I'm looking forward to reading my signed Lance Henriksen biography when I get it for Fathers Day.

My mum would do stuff like that.
She bought a panini maker because it matched the toaster. She's never used it yet.

A panini maker would be great
I could get that missing Jesper Olsen one I needed to complete the 1985 album.

They're bringing out panini stickers with video screens on them out in the states.
I've never wanted Panini stickers before.

I would understand buying something to use only for special occasions but even as a woman, if I want to show something off, I will buy decoration.
