My son asked why I always put the milk back in the fridge before I finish pouring his cereal.

I told him it's a protective measure. The milk stays cold, the fridge stays organized, and I get my steps in.

He said that makes zero sense—I'm literally about to pour more.

Punchline

I said, "Exactly. It's called keeping your options open."
