Went to visit my Grandmother when she turned 90. My mom and her sister were there too. So as we were fixing dinner I was getting out some fancy dinnerware and serving pieces. When I asked if we could use them, my Grandmother said we always save them for something good, but who is "goodder than we are"? So we used the items for my entire visit. Not one item broke and she had a chance to enjoy her items.
We use everything too.
