I'm a strong believer in saving stuff - after all you never know when you might need it!
This practice, however, has not filtered down into the lives of my grown offspring who seem to enjoy teasing me about it.
So, recently, when the black knob fell off a Revere Ware cooking pot, I saved the knob although I felt sure this all important knob could never be reattached, have any useful purpose or could be used for anything else.
Wrong! My son who seems able to fix anything, said, "If we just had the knob, I could fix this."
So! ...a fun & memorable gotcha moment - I pulled the knob from the drawer, presenting it to him as ceremoniously as possible.
He fixed the lid using an old additional part - he'd saved!
