It Can Be Both

I have a square teapot.  It isn’t super practical but it’s pretty cool looking.  It has a bamboo handle.  

For years it sat on top of my refrigerator.

“That teapot was my grandmother’s,” I’d say.  “It’s kind of hard to clean,” I’d think.

One day I noticed a sticker on the bottom.  Target Global.  2005.  And beneath the sticker, printed on the ceramic:  Dishwasher safe.

“This was my grandmother’s.  She bought it at Target because she thought it was cool.  It can go in the dishwasher.”

I use it all the time. 

It was my grandmother’s.  It was also from Target.  It can be both.
