Ism of the Week

"Oh, I really wish I could get new countertops."

"Why, Mom?"
"These are not in good shape, and they don't match the rest of our nice kitchen.  And did you know, Cael, that you can use all kinds of stuff to make countertops?  They use different kinds of stone, like granite or quartz, but they also use wood or even concrete."

"I don't know what that meant, Mom.  But if you want to use different stuff to make your counters, there's a really big cardboard box in the basement that might work."

"Thanks, dude, but that wouldn't work as a countertop.  The surface has to be really hard." 

"Then you should use 'seven plus four'.  That one is really hard."
