It was time to clean up the Thanksgiving dinner table. The conversation went as follows...
Peter: "What should I do with these rolls?"
Me: "Put them in a ziplock bag."
Peter: "I think I can just put this towel over them and leave them in the basket."
Me: "No, you can't. They will get stale. Put them in a ziplock bag."
Peter: "I don't think we have ziplock bags."
(Side note - he has never bought a box of zip lock bags in his entire life)
He then flipped the towel back and forth over the rolls several times.
ME: "YES WE DO. That's why I told you to put them IN a zip lock bag when you ASKED me what to do with them." ( Yes, I'm getting agitated at this point.)
Peter: "Yeah, I think I can just put this towel over them and put them in the fridge. Wait, is that stupid?"
Me: "YES!!! It is stupid! Put them in the #$@%^&# zip lock bag."
Peter: Opens cabinet and stares directly at the box of zip lock bags and says, "Yeah, I don't think we have any zip lock bags."
Me: Forcefully marches over to cabinet and pulls out box of zip lock bags. They have been on the same shelf in the same cabinet for at least 5 years. "Here are the bags."
Peter: "Huh."
So there you go.
