Daily instead of just every now and then.
Probably not.
Let's get going:
So, do you guys all like pudding? Yeah, come on, everyone likes pudding. I
think it's one of those staple foods that everyone needs to have around. It
really easy to make. All you have to do is go in your fridge and grab some
milk (or, if you don't have any, sneak over to the neighboring farm and fight
some poor calf for some). Put the milk in a container with that cool powdery
stuff (I just don't recommend sniffing it -- they've gotta have a warning
about that somewhere on the box . . .). Last, but not least, shake.
Good dog.
Sorry.
Anyway, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. If you are going to make
some good chocolate pudding, I would suggest eating all of it. Let's say
that one day you decide that you have a bunch of milk in your fridge and you
need more room because these little college fridges are, well, little. So,
you dig out one of those boxes of pudding and combine it with the milk in a
container. You shake it for a while until it gets cool bubbles in it, and
then you shake it some more, just cuz it's fun.
You eat some pudding. The rest ends up sitting in that little fridge, taking
up the spot that your milk was in.
Three days later you forget that the pudding is there.
A week later, when you want some more pudding, you realize that it's still
sitting there. So, you get it out and look at the cool green fuzzy spots
that are starting to form on the top. You say to yourself, "Gross," and put
the container back in the fridge.
A week after that, you are re-stocking your pop supply and once again find
that pudding container sitting there in the fridge. Come on, there's no time
to clean it out now; you've got class in an hour (or two . . .)
So, the vicious pudding container cycle goes on. For about a month.
Eventually, you realize that the space in your fridge would be better used if
you just took that container and dumped it out. You trek to the bathroom to
wash it out. However, when you get there, the green fuzzy spots have moved
from the top of the pudding to the whole inside of the container. This is
going to take at least 10 minutes to wash out. So, you just dump out the
pudding and take the container back to your room to sit with the rest of your
dirty dishes.
A week later, you decide that since you've done the rest of your dishes,
maybe you should consider dealing with that nasty pudding container. So, you
take it to the bathroom to wash it out, and you realize that the custodians
are coming in 5 minutes to clean the bathroom, so you just take some soap and
put some water in the container, and put the cover back on. "It just needs
to soak a little bit, anyway. It'll be easier to clean after is soaks for a
while . . ."
Well, I'll tell you the rest of the story after I pick that container up
that's sitting on my desk.
Hey, I can't wash it right now . . . I'm e-mailing you.
