Oooohh.. My boyfriend/partner would just say:
BF: "Why do you have so many handbags?"
Me: "well, not so many. just a few."
BF: "a few? 2 cabinet doors? A few? are you kidding me? and those boxes? are they even essential? they're just bulk"
Me: "MY ORANGE BOXES? BULK??? OH NO MISTER! THEY ARE NOT (waving the quote unquote sign with my fingers) "BULK'.. And speaking of Bulk, why the Eff do we have a lot of TOY boxes on our closet? i mean that IS "BULK" right!?!?
And if we ever go bankrupt, those "BULK" that you call is what can save us from starvation! i can resell them for a really good price. Can you say that about your little playthings?
BF: (scratches head, shaking head) yeah yeah. i didn't say anything...
--------end of conversation-----
hahaha
P.S., this really happened. and he never questioned me again... (well, after i gifted him with an H wallet and H/LV/
Gucci belts every anniversary hahaha) just, everytime i go out shopping for a new bag, he just shakes his head and mumbles incoherent thoughts.
