You had ducks nearby? Our serfs had to make do with field mice.
you should start a thread…i would like to know more.
The first of today’s batch of letters made me think of this thread:

We do, actually! The toaster is so fancy, it’s attached to… get this… an oven! That is perfect for bagels!

Piffier. In my house, we had clothes that we ONLY WORE TO BED. Beat that, bitches.

You got me beat. That’s too blue for my blood.
Piff. I call shenanigans. You are making stuff up. Like there are enough rich people for your fancy oven-toaster device.
I would start such a thread, but I’m so not in the mood to deal with all the jealous haters who will inevitably attack me for bragging about the family colanders.
But I will say this. We actually had enough money to get a third colander, believe it or not. My mother really want us to get another, but my dad wanted to keep us grounded. So we just kept it at two. Interesting, huh?
Colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander colander.
What a neat word.
Oh, and I suppose you also had some sort of paper that you used ONLY to wipe your asses? “Toilet” paper? Well, whatever. I don’t think you’re very intelligent so I still win with the dishes thing.
Oh now, see…she should have just bought it without telling him. Or did she need financing on that 3rd colander?
Christmas bells are ringing!
Father was a principal, lorene. Come on. Principal’s don’t need financing for colanders.
Dang. Bet your brother had to beat off gold diggers with a stick.
Mushroom, mushroom!
I defended her a bit in the original thread, because I felt lorene was kind of gunning for her unnecessarily. Of course, lindsay turned right around and misquoted lorene, so, you know, I kind of regretted that one.
I think lindsay’s been getting kind of shit on for her “child of money” schtick, and by God I hope it has some effect on her, instead of leading her to wallow in her ‘no one likes me because I’m sooooo riiiiich’ thing. Because those of us who grew up upper middle class - and despite what she may think, there were many of us, and it’s really not that big a deal - all did what she’s doing; it’s just that most of us were prepubescent at the time. I remember making fun of a classmate’s family car in middle school - my mother’s reaction was cold fury. I had not worked a day in my life, money doesn’t equal class and I was being classless and uncouth, and so on and so on. The greater point, she said, was that being classy was more important than being wealthy, and classy people did NOT gloat about their money, especially the money that they hadn’t worked for. And bragging only makes you look like an idiot when the guy standing next to you has twice what you do. Somehow I feel lindsay’s parents never had this sort of conversation with her.
Anyway, I do hope this is all sinking in for her. Because, lindsay darling, everyone you know is mocking you. We’re all saying this shit, and we’re anonymous people on an internet message board and you don’t have to listen or care. But this behaviour obviously caries over into your real life, and there’s no doubt that people are making fun of you, and it’s not because they’re jealous. You are NOT a child of money. Claiming such just makes you look ignorant.
And geez louise, you with the face, enough with the colander bragging! We had to use old pantyhose… I can still taste the nylon.

I heartily endorse this adjectivisation - you adjectivised well.
**WordMan **- speaking good for a longish time™
I want to know more about lindsey’s toiluts.
Do they come with…a BIDET? Is THE BIDET standard in lindsey’s 7 bathroom home? Come on, that’s frickin’ fascinating.
But please, let’s get into the nitty gritty of THE BIDET.
It broke my heart when Sears stopped sending free catalogs.
Ever had to wipe your ass with a tumbleweed?
If you’re using the bidet right, there shouldn’t be nitty gritty.
Damn you Tom Scud, I was going to make that joke!
Seriously, if you have nitty gritty in the bidet, it’s time to fire the help, they aren’t doing there job.
What, you didn’t have any cats? Peasant.
My family had dishes we didn’t even use. You know the commemorative plates of Elvis in Las Vegas? We had the complete set.
And decorations we never used except in December.
It has given me a perspective that not everyone shares.
