“You have approx 4 seconds to clean your bowl after eating oatmeal before it turns to cement”

An oatmeal bowl must be cleaned immediately after the meal, or the oatmeal will stick to the bowl like cement.

Slowly but surely I’m learning to rinse out the oatmeal bowl before it turns into cement.

My son doesn’t understand the importance of rinsing his oatmeal bowl immediately before it turns to cement.
He’s laughing at me.
So now I’m eating oatmeal too, and he will be washing both un-rinsed bowls later. 😊

Public Service Announcement/Reminder!
NEVER leave your oatmeal bowl to wash later, . . . It’ll set up like cement, (but you can use the bowl as a planter).

washing out the oatmeal bowl before it turns to cement is morally imperative
