That ALWAYS seems to be what I have left in my cupboard for leftovers. And I can never figure out why my husband just can't seem to make the judgement and KNOW that half a bowl of leftover mashed potatoes will NOT fit in the container that will only hold the one grape! Why does he even need to ask that? And, if we start out with an entire set of matching containers, how do I always get odd ones in that cupboard that don't belong, and where did all the matching ones go? <br />This was so funny, Anna!
