She: "When we started dating you + your family were collectors and thought I should collect something, too."
He: "You started with hat pins, which led to pins, linens, china, etc. The list never ends."
She: "Well, my goal when we got married many moons ago was to furnish our apartment with everything vintage."
He: "We didn't realize at the time that we were being eco-friendly."

He: "How so?"
She: "You got me started as a collector."
He: "Sure, blame the victim."

ReplyDeletea friend once told me that it only takes 3 of anything to qualify as a collection. what a shock it was to learn that i was a collector of a ton of different things. smile! it is a woman's perogative to change her mind and a man's to resist being changed!
ReplyDeleteyes, indeed!
