As you know, we recently made some new kitchen appliance purchases. We simply had to have a new stove and a new refrigerator, because they were not functioning properly. And because we can, we chose stainless steel over the white that was currently in the kitchen.
We did not get a new dishwasher, however, because that appliance works great and we were trying to be a little prudent.
But today Engineer noticed.
"Mom, we need a new one of these," he says pointing to the white appliance amidst the sea of stainless steel.
"A new dishwasher?" I ask probingly. "Why?"
"This is one is white," he says with disgust in an are-you-kidding-me-mom-white-is-so-ten-years-ago tone of voice.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, we need silver," and then to make sure I understood, "to match the other stuff."
This from a five year old boy. He could very well be the next Vern Yip.
