Last night my wife and I had this conversation:

She: The toaster isn't working as it should.

Me: Babe, we own a five dollar toaster.

She: Oh. The toaster is just fine.

It's all about perspective.

Smart woman. The $8 toaster I bought from Walmart is by far the best $8 toaster I ever bought.

We bought a coffee maker from King Soopers (aka Kroger) for less than $3 once. It wasn't a no-name either, it was a Mr. Coffee.

This is how economists see the world.

That's how I felt about my phone 2 phones ago. I got it through amazon for a penny. It wasn't the best but it was the best penny phone I've ever used.

Or, as Sheryl Crow sang, "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got."

Okay that came out wrong.

It could have gone much worse. Either of these could have happened in my house:

She: The toaster isn't working as it should.
Me: Babe, we own a five dollar toaster.
She: You're just using that as an excuse not to fix it .

or

She: The toaster isn't working as it should.
Me: Okay, there I fixed i t.
She: I wanted you to fix it. I didn't ask for an extra switch, an electric thermometer and a bunch of loose wires on the kitchen counter. Is that thing safe ?

Good answer.

But now I'm curious: What was the toaster not doing that she was expecting it to do? Was it just getting the bread warm, but not actually crispy?
