You just know with a title like that it’s going to be a juicy post. On Modern Family – do you watch Modern Family? It’s very funny. – the other night, Claire was looking through the Tupperware and wondering how or why the containers and lids get separated.

Wow, was I just on vacation? I have that weird, not-unfamiliar feeling that I was in a completely alternate universe many months ago, although we’ve been home for only a few days.
