A Toast to Toast
"Okay, I'm going to have a piece of toast for lunch," I said. "I really like this new multi-grain bread."I put a slice in the toaster. Seriously, this bread is terrific.
"Ooh, you can't do that,"Gloria said, holding up the bag. "There's mold."
"Well, no toast for lunch, then," I said.
"Wait," she said. "I can slice this loaf of French bread and you can use that."
"That seems like a lot of work," I said. "I can just put it in the microwave."
"Don't do that." She sliced. "Here, try this piece," she said.
"That won't fit," I said. "It's too wide."
"You're very negative about this," she said.
"Toast is very geometric to me," I said. "You have a product specifically made to fit precisely inside a toasting device. There is no reason not to use that product."
"You just put it in the toaster diagonally," she said. "Then, halfway through, you reverse it."
"I feel like I went to the beach with a lawn chair and it turned into D-Day," I said.
