Let’s say that you use a milk pitcher. Let’s say that that pitcher is empty and you need to refill it. Let’s say that you look in a refrigerator, and there are two gallon jugs of milk – one is half-full, the other is unopened. Which milk jug do you use to refill the milk pitcher?
If you are my kids, the answer is obvious – you use the full unopened one, of course! I was just flabbergasted when I opened the backup refrigerator and found two half-full jugs of milk. What the hell?! You’d think that you’d use up all of the opened container before you open another one, but not in my house. That just makes too much sense.
