— the short list on etiquette for borrowing your friend’s/roommate’s/sister’s/mother’s jewelry —
one — ask first. (jewelry is not worth the near angina you suffer from after racing to get out of your roommate’s closet as you hear the front door open)
two — return promptly. (or discover what it means to blur the line in your memory between borrower and owner — a slippery slope)
three — do not lose. (or be prepared to bake a big batch of i-blew-it brownies)
— LAF
p.s. who decided to name jewels named after french bread?
