Warning: this is about a silly dispute with my father.
At home, we both love Cheerios. Who doesn't? Anyway, I bought a cereal container that is air-tight. My father thinks we should triple bag the Cheerios. Every time I have ever put cereal in the air-tight cereal container, there have never been ants in there. But whenever he sees me pouring cereal from there, he's like "there are ANTS in the Cheerios...." I have made it clear that I think triple bagging the cereal is just cumbersome and ridiculous. When I wake up, the first thing I feel like doing is opening a container with ease, not wading through plastic to get my food.
Yesterday, I was about to pour myself a good ol' fashioned bowl of Cheerios when I realized that the container is open. I know I didn't leave that container open... I didn't see it open the day before, and I didn't eat Cheerios that day either. So I looked in the container and it was ants galore. I KNOW this was my father's doing.
So tonight, he made a comment about how there were ants in the Cheerios this morning. I said, gee, that's funny because YESTERDAY I opened the container and saw ant-ridden Cheerios and threw out the whole container, because it was left open.
He said, Well, that's why we need to triple bag it.
I say NO, it was left open. Ants do not get into an airtight container unless it is OPEN
He obviously cannot hear me and says "Well, it isn't very airtight, now is it?"
... and the argument goes on with me saying "IT WAS OPEN" and him telling me that the container wasn't very good at keeping the ants out...... !!!!!!!
I know he's my father and all, but I HAVE to win this... how can I win this argument??
I tried telling him... it just doesn't make sense! At 6am before going to work, who has the mental capacity to pick up a bag, unzip the bag, take out another ill-fitting bag, open it, and then take out the rolled bag of Cheerios that you can *barely* get out of there, pour your cereal, and then roll up the Cheerios into an ill-fitting bag, into another ill-fitting bag? Ughhh it's so damn ridiculous....
