I have the best idea… yeah right!

I was a typical  know it all teenager.  I thought I could do everything better than my mom.   One morning I was frustrated, trying to get the frozen orange juice concentrate out of the container (this was prior to the packaging now in use that can be warmed in the microwave to get the stuff out).  First, I pulled the white pull tag to remove the top lid.  Then (this is when I thought I was a genius), I used a can opener to pry the bottom lid off.  The orange stuff would easily just slide right out!  Boy, was I smart!! 

Then I read the label : Use with 3 cans of water…. How was I supposed to measure the water when I had opened both ends of the container?  What a teenage chickenpucker moment!!

It must have made my mom really proud.  I think it was then she began to fear for my ability to feed myself!!
