Bread and Milk tabs

And you thought your family was weird.

My dad has been collecting all the milk and bread tabs that he finds lying around the kitchen, on the kitchen table or counter, and keeping them in a container on top of our microwave. It's some kind of point he's making about leaving garbage lying around. So now we started putting the tabs for any new loaves of bread we open or bags of milk into that container for him. he didn't appreciate it, oddly enough. So we stopped doing that because he was specifically collecting the ones left lying around.

So now to play with his mind, every morning when I have breakfast I take one of them out of the container and purposely put it on the table or somewhere, so he will find it, and add it to the container thinking we're slobs or whatever he thinks. Sooner or later he'll clue in when he notices that the tabs aren't piling up at all despite how many he believes he's collecting throughout the kitchen.

This post cracked me up! :o)

My mom did the same thing when I was a kid. To this day, she has a collection of coloured bread tabs!
