There is no limit to the amount of "stuff for the house" a woman can buy. One minor demonstrative example I've mentioned on xo before: I am the proud owner of a cherry wood salad bowl that my CGWBT purchased. You see, it's a big bowl we put salad in. Then we carry that bowl to the table and put the salad into smaller bowls.
What function does this bowl serve? Why does it have to be expensive cherry wood instead of cheap stainless steel? Nobody fucking knows, but it makes sense to the person who controls my access to blowjobs, so cherry wood salad bowl it is. |

Date: April 7th, 2018 9:43 AM Author: trip property jew lol no she prepares and dresses it in the actual stainless steel bowl. The wood bowl is merely an intermediate step between being prepared and put in smaller bowls. I'm lucky that I found a CGWBT who is skinny and actually makes food at home, but she has her quirks.
