Are these really necessary?


Really? (she said haughtily). I think that perhaps the kitchen is not the place for you if eye protection from onions is on your list.

Ed: How does the punctuation work for that parenthetical phrase?!

  1. "Really?" she said haughtily.

    I think that's an improvement, if still not right.

  2. I was going to say the exact same thing as Ashley.

    And my answer to your subject line is a resounding NO.

  3. I was just at a museum gift shop with a friend... and she bought a pair of these for her mother-in-law. !

    If you haven't been there, the National Building Museum is really cool. Have you or Bill been there? Big play space for kids, and a couple of cool exhibits: one on storefront churches in the ghetto, and one on slums around the world. Plus, you can pick up a pair of onion goggles in the gift shop on your way out!

  4. I would have strongly agreed with my sisters, but then I tried to help Ashley make some food while I was in Boston, and I had to keep sticking my head out of the kitchen because my eyes were stinging so badly.
