What do you mean we Kemosabe?

Someone comes over to borrow something. Your spouse says, "Sure, we have one, you can borrow it!" The item is YOURS, NOT your spouse's.

Now, if you say no, it makes you appear to be an utter witch with a capital 'B'....

The story?

I have a good, heavy wooden rolling pin, WITH the good bearings inside. You CANNOT just throw that in the sink, 'lest you destroy it. You have to just carefully surface clean it. I don't trust DH or the boys to use it, and he lends it to a neighbor!  I used that rolling pin for my first meal that I served company when I first moved out. I made a homemade chicken pot pie, and I used my rolling pin to make my crust.

He loaned it out yesterday. It's not back yet.
