Empty Jars
Vocal Community Microfiction Series - Lifehack
"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."
