I usually make a cutting comment when a friend or family member buys something that I think is ridiculously expensive or just ridiculous.
It's in my genes: my whole family is the same way.
Cut down the tall poppy; try to get a joke in; rip, tear, and shatter a good friend's pride and joy.
But every so often, the person comes back with a logical or rational explanation that makes me eat my words.
My brother spent, what I thought was, an outrageous amount of money on a bed.
After my eye rolling and cutting response, he said, "I spend a 1/3 of my life sleeping, I might as well be comfortable."
I couldn't argue with that!
I look at my bed differently now
note: I actually sleep on a futon.
