Yesterday morning I filled a teapot full of water and made myself a cup of tea. Later that evening when I went to make myself another cup I saw that the teapot was still at least half full, now rather than just reheating the water I walked over to the sink and poured it out, as if the water had gone bad. In that moment as I thought, “you know what, this water has been sitting in this pot for almost 8 hours, it may have gone bad, better just pour it down the drain”, I felt more American than I ever have.
What’s even better is that I was going to boil the water so any bacteria, or other things I am apparently afraid of, would have been killed. It’s good to be an American.
