The Metric System

We have a friend Kely who is over tonight. Her mother whom I'll call Julie, dropped her off with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I told Ellie that we weren't eating it. She said why. I said, "Well, there is 580 milligrams of sodium per serving. And everyone knows that one box is one serving." She looked at me like I was crazy.

She wanted to take a bath. I said, "No, you took one this morning."
She said, "Well, I get really dirty at school. I play in the sand and I got like 7 milligrams of dirt on me."
