"Aie! What are you doing?!"

Mom snatched the empty Nutella jar from my hands.

"Uh, taking out the trash?"

Mom tsked. "You're wasting the best part," she muttered.

"But it's empty-"

Mom tsked again and opened the fridge. "Watch."

She poured herself a mug of milk and warmed it in the microwave. She then poured the milk inside the Nutella jar.

"Holy shit." I watched as she stirred and scraped out every bit of chocolate before emptying the jar into her mug. "You're a genius!"

Mom tsked. "And you have much to learn."
