Anticipating the Inevitable Stupid Question

 

I made these baskets and while putting the handles on I thought about the inevitable stupid question I am going to be asked - “ These are nice dear but what can I use them for?” It is at this point that my lip begins to quiver and I am unable to respond without sarcasm or being rude. I am usually dumb founded and am unable to speak. I just stand there speechless looking stupid with a quivering lip. I know why I am not good at retail sales. I once was a part owner in an art co-op. There was some very nice work and some not so nice work. I could sell the work I liked very well but try as I might I could not find a word to say about the work I didn’t like.  I wear my disapproval like a neon sign on my forehead.

Ok, Dennis I know you have the killer answer! No pressure but I’m sitting here waiting in the cold for your comment.
