She sets a standard beyond me 

I was sitting in the dining room when Emmanuelle went into the kitchen.

For the next 10 minutes I heard:

"Krrrakk... krk... krrrrrrrraakkk..."

When it finally occurred to me that that noise had been going on for a while, I took my plate into the kitchen and demanded from her what in the world was she doing, making all those noises.

She was trying to cut open a hard plastic cover that was keeping her from a new electric toothbrush she just bought.

"I bought this, and it belongs to me, but it doesn't believe me or want me to let me have it!!!"

*Slaps head with palm*

I got it open for her within a minute despite laughing so hard my tummy hurt and I couldn't use the scissors properly.
