    I would never fail to bring that up at family gatherings

    While shopping my dad once said we should get an electric knife sharpener to which my mum replied “but we don’t have an electric knife”. The whole checkout line turned and looked at her like ‘the fuck did she just say?’

    It gets brought up anytime there’s a roast to carve lol

      I think your mom was treated unfairly for that. electric knives cannot be sharpened in the typical manner and it’s fair to assume you need a special machine for it.

      also, who tf buys an electric sharpener for a regular knife. that’s dumb

        Someone who can’t sharpen a knife manually for medical reasons.

        It’s all in good spirit and she’s no slouch teasing any of us over dumb shit
