stacked like banana bread

Mom: This is confusing. I don’t know what the first row knows. The third row knows how to  make the pasta.

Leah: What are they rows of?

Mom: They’re rows of how you want things. If they don’t figure it out by step 4 they won’t be able to do anything!  …Or the initial people. Like in the first and second cabinets. They really have to have their shit together. Do you know what I’m talking about? You probably don’t but it makes perfect sense.

Leah: Well, maybe we need more information.

Mom: Just look at the blues and greens and they’ll give you a clue.

Leah: Where could we find those?

Mom:  Right next to the olives.

A little while later –

Mom: Do you see the people there? In white and purple in the cabinet. They’re stacked upside down like banana… like banana bread. You can use them so efficiently. First the purple and white, then the navy and white. Very efficient.
