I have to tell you a funny story based in the "all men are alike" philosophy. When we went back to the US about two years ago, our daughters (with 10 kids in tow) went to a quilting shop. I do not do well just standing around, so I parked myself back by the sewing machines--loads of sewing machines! There were the long arms, the embroidery models, the ordinary models, the Baby Locks and so many more--not just one brand either. I sat there drooling and probably looked "hungry" or deprived.
Maybe I looked lonesome because a clerk came and offered to show me how to use the newest Bernina embroidery model at $10K plus. My grandson, age 8, came up to check on what I was up to and stood over me as I enjoyed the demo. On the way out of the store, he approached his mother with, "You can't let GramMER spend that much money on a sewing machine!"
He thought I might seriously plunk out $10K+, but he has no idea that much is not in my bank account nor on my credit card. His mother commented to me later, "MEN! They are all alike!"
I predict she might buy herself one someday.
