We unplug all small appliances when we’re not using them.

Which lead to a popular aphorism in our home. “The toaster toasts faster when you plug it in.”

When Igor was alive, we had conversation starters like that, too!! They are quite common in my family, which is why we so seldom get together -- the collective spouses would have to sit on the sidelines and watch the interplay between the sibs, and try to keep score.

It's a thankless job, being married into our parents' family...
