Laurence wanted toast for breakfast, but as he could not reach the toaster without a stool, I put the bread in it for him. When it popped up, I took it out and laid it on the counter. It was just the first shade past golden brown, but Laurence said, "I don't like it with all that black on it." He's a little hyper about his toast being too dark. So I turned the toast over and the other side was several shades lighter. "That's better," he said. "Now can you butter it?"
P.S. Did you notice the correct use of the word "laid" up above? Another pair of verbs that fits the lay/lie and set/sit pattern is raise/rise.
