Feeling Like a Drug Dealer

"You suck."
-Katherine

Yesterday I wore a new necklace and Katherine said she wanted it, with earrings. I mentioned that I'd made a handful of new necklaces over the weekend and she said, "uh oh." Today, I wore another new necklace, which she also wants. That's where the "you suck" came in. It's great to have a fan, abuse not withstanding.

Katherine: It's terrible, I'm addicted.
Me: Well, there are worse things.
Katherine: Yeah, crack.
Me: See?

Of course, for all that she might feel guilty about her jewelry addiction, I reminded her that I'll always have twice as much at my house. Even if she buys an average of one new necklace a week, there are still those weeks (or weekends) where I'll sit down for a couple of hours and make half a dozen new necklaces in one go. She wasn't reassured.
