Every American has one of these:

Yes, that is the cabinet where I keep my plasticware. Some of you may brag about having the vintage margarine and dessert topping storage, but some of us don’t remember to save them and are forced to buy new stuff.

It starts off like this:

But it always ends up in the cabinet above. With more lids that don’t match the bottoms. While I’m sure some of you may have prosaic explanations, I’m certain those missing socks from the dryer turn into random lids. It’s the only explanation for how all the bottom parts are square and the lids are round.

Of course, I’m trying to fool the system but now purchasing different shapes.

In the meantime, I’ll be cleaning out the insanity and feeding the recycling bin with the unmatching lids/containers because let’s face it. Leftover season is nearly upon us.

And for those of you who don’t have a drawer or cabinet like the above, please know the government likes to dissect extraterrestrials, so you may want to fix that and try to blend in with the rest of us earthlings.

Until next time!
