Sam was making himself some instant oatmeal in the individual packages. I watched him pour milk into the empty bag.
“Sam! What are you doing? What, you don’t want to wash a measuring cup?”
Of course he got that shit eaten grin on his face and said, ” These packages were made to be measuring cups.” What the hell?
After he poured the milk into his bowl of dry oatmeal he showed me the package. He said, ”See? I told you.” That little smarty pants know it all.
Well, now I know and so do you. I still can’t believe this is a real thing.
He went on to tell me, people on the go don’t carry a measuring cup with them, especially if they are making the oatmeal in a convenience store, hotel lobby, or in his case the nurses’ break room in the ER.
I don’t know where he gets his logical nature from, certainly not from me.
I’m glad I made his day teaching me another one of his tricks. Remember how he eats his banana, upside down. He still has not convinced on that one.
Oh, the banana-upside-down is real. My daughter showed me that. That’s how I eat them now.
I knew that too – these make perfect camping pkgs
