after years of thinking "that would be a useful thing"
only to realize that your idea of "useful"
and your husband's idea of "useful"
are not exactly the same thing?"
Exhibit A:
I bought it to scrub veggies.
My husband used it to clean the oil paint off a brush.
And scrub some dirty old shoes.
And other things he is too smart to mention.
Useful.
But maybe not for veggies anymore.
