I have no beef with boxed wine. However, I will whine about boxed beef – though that phrase may mean something different to me than it does to other (beefless, boxy) persons.
However, it’s just not that impressive to threaten someone by smashing a winebox open on the side of the bar and waving the tattered, sodden edges near their jugular, so I think the bottle industry still has an important role to play.

miss britt: right on! and your son will thank you someday for giving him his independence! this woman’s kid will be living at home when he’s 43… guaranteed!
kat!: you are hard core, woman.
dustin: i’m pretty sure cilantro is meant to be thrown out, rotten or not. i’d try the tampon thing, but it might get me arrested.
mike: start out with the shuffle – that way you only lose $79 when he flushes it down the toilet.
churlita: i’m thinking of creating my own rule book for successful living. those will be the first two entries.
robin: well, if we’re being honest, then bread is also on my list. i just didn’t want to seem so wasteful.
vahid: i know – 5 liters is a little crazy – that’s almost 7 bottles! why don’t they just sell it by the keg?

I was feeling pretty good about this post till I got to the comments, and found out from brandon and kat! that there are five-liter boxes of wine. Now I feel like an underachiever.

Scary. I swap out the exact same things in my fridge too. Of course, the slight moldy loaf of bread changes with the guard as well.

I think the iPod rule is a good one. I also think 5 liters is a good rule too.

Off the record, I have considered buying my three year old an ipod. For his music. His CHILDREN’S music, that is. And not at all because I have a problem that involves the careless (carefree) purchasing of apple products. Because that would be silly.

1. My cilantro changes guard like every four days.
2. If it don’t say “gallons,” then it ain’t made in Amurika!
3. I would have asked him for a tampon. Of course that plan backfires if he actually hands you one…

My son is only seven. And I almost always make him go in the men’s room (while I hover outside, guaranteed to worry because OMG I don’t know what he does in there but it takes him FOREVER).

dave2: i almost vomited when you said that.
brandon: FIVE liters? you're trying to trick me! no one makes a five liter box of wine... how could i even carry that on my head?
serap: oh, those baby spinach leaves will kill you every time. but i have faith in you - i say you cook them all up and eat them in one sitting.
THB: ha! yeah, that would be a good rule of thumb as well.
shari: you know, maybe it wasn't really a child. maybe it was a tiny little man running from the law pretending to be a child... just like in the bugs bunny cartoons.
