First, I will NEVER (said Eve style) drink the end of the milk. I will go out of my way to avoid using the last part of the carton / jug. (as an aside, that last part should read carton stroke jug - not carton slash jug - sounds more posh that way). I don't actually believe that inheriting this one is a bad thing - have you seen the nastiness on a milk jug at the end of its life?
The second one is definitely weird.
Kathryn was hogging the sink in the kitchen doing dishes or something, and I needed a cup of water for something (maybe a recipe?). Anyway - I went in to the bathroom to get the water from the tap there. Then I paused. Could I possibly consider using bathroom water to cook with / (stroke) drink?
What you need to know is that my mom NEVER drank water from the bathroom tap. NEVER! It took me a long time to work up the courage to use that bathroom water for my urgent needs, even though I've seen the pipes in my basement and know that it all comes from the same place.
Makes me wonder what I'm passing down to my kids.

The water tastes better from the kitchen tap, that's all. Also, when closing the bread bag I always spin it in one hand before twist-tying it shut - like my father :)
I've tried to overcome the same weirdnesses...and I still cringe when i see james get bathroom water to drink.
And i just stopped drinking milk. Problem solved. I don't mind drinking the end of the diet coke bottle.
oh wow oh wow!!! I made the second line of your labels grid thing!!!
But maybe that's bad because all your posts about me made fun of me...
