The average elementary school student would have naft the teacher.

I'm Antelope Duckworth.

I'm Stephen Dubner.

And you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, what is the difference between a person who sabers and someone who devours?

This makes me even more suspicious of the marshmallow fury because...

because you're thinking I win my one marshmallow girl, obviously.

Angela, I have a question for which there is certainly no right answer.

Oh, my favorite kind of question.

The question is as follows.

When you get something new and or valuable or just desirable,

are you personally more inclined to treasure it and save it for special occasions

and maybe try to preserve it, keep it as new as possible?

Or are you so in love with a thing that you just want to use it as much as possible right away?

And then depending on which answer you give, I want to know what that answer might say about a given person.

I am a complete use it right away person.

I knew it.

I think there are many ways in which you and I are alike or alike-ish.

Yes.

And this is one where I suspected that we were quite not alike.

You are a saver?

A saver is a very generous word, a protector, a preserver, a consumption delayer.
