Alex showed up this afternoon claiming my spice organization system was ‘chaotic’ and needed ‘proper engineering.’ Twenty minutes later, my entire paprika supply was decorating the kitchen floor like orange snow.

Apparently his brilliant plan involved removing the entire spice rack to ‘optimize the layout’ without considering that half my jars don’t actually have secure lids. The sound of glass hitting tile was immediately followed by Alex’s very colorful vocabulary that I didn’t know he possessed.

To his credit, he stayed for the full cleanup operation.

Jake walked in during our sweep-and-dustpan routine and just started laughing. Now I have a perfectly organized spice cabinet and a story that’s definitely getting told at Thanksgiving dinner.
