A Greasy Situation

It's funny how we all have our little tricks for this and that around the house.  My mother-in-law saves a coffee can under the kitchen sink to collect cooking grease.  She stayed at our house and looked under the sink... and found...NO COFFEE CAN!

They were climbing on the counters because THEY WERE TOO SHORT TO REACH THE SHELF WHERE I KEPT THEIR CUPS AND BOWLS!



So, I switched the Tupperware and the kids dishes. Boy, sometimes you just have to hit me over the head with things like this...
