Man, my daughter-in-law is an odd one.

Don't get me wrong. I really like her. But she's one of them tree huggers.

Now, I got nothing against eating organic or taking care of the environment. As long as you're not breaking the law or doing anything illegal, I think everybody should live the life they want.

I also believe nobody should be pushing their lifestyle on other people.

Fortunately, my daughter-in-law recognized early on that she couldn't push her stuff on me without backlash. 

So she doesn't try. But every now and then, she'll just do something that makes me question everything I thought I knew about the world.

They were here visiting for a couple of days recently. I enjoyed their company.

But Then I Saw the Weirdest Thing in My Kitchen.

The other day, I went to clean up some coffee I accidentally spilled. I reached for the paper towels.

This is what I saw:

It seems when my daughter in law washes her hands, she dries her hands them with paper towels. 

But she leave the paper towels attached? 

Let me say that one more time for the people in the back.

She was drying used paper towels so she could reuse them.

This is the most bizarre mix of frugality and insanity I have ever witnessed.

I've lived a long life. There's only been a few times where I was genuinely speechless.

This was one of them.

I didn't know what to say to her. I just stood there, staring at these paper towels.

At that moment, my son walked down the stairs. 

He saw me frozen in front of the paper towel holder. He looked at me. He looked at the towels.

Then he goes, "Dad... yeah. I don't get it either."

I looked at him. I looked back down at the paper towels.

And I just walked off.

Sometimes there are no words.

What would you have said to her if you were me?

Enjoy your Sunday!
