  1. Homemade pizza. The Monstrosity!\u2122 Get a crust, put on a bunch of homemade pizza sauce, add cheese, then pepperoni, then sausage, then mushrooms, then more cheese… “Shawn tasted, Shawn approved!”\u2122<\/li>\n
  2. Forks. Look, it was a thin-crust pizza crust! Sure, it was nice and crispy, but it was still The Monstrosity!\u2122 Cutting it into eight slices and eating it by hand was a ludicrous proposal. (That’s not to say I didn’t pick it up and take a few bites partway through, but I didn’t want a giant pile of greasy pizza toppings flopping down onto my hand before landing on the plate.)<\/li>\n
  3. Plates. A better landing spot for toppings than my hand, the table or on top of the dog. Not that he’d mind, but still…<\/li>\n
  4. Paper towels. The toppings<\/em> stayed on the pizza, but that didn’t keep other stuff for flowing down onto my hand when I picked it up.<\/li>\n
  5. Dishwashers. Because cleaning up the plates and forks and knife (Me: “I don’t need a knife!” [Five minutes later] “Thanks for letting me use yours…”) is tedious and I’m grateful that we have a machine to do the work for me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
