happy mother's day

phil: "mom, shouldn't we have that food sitting out in the refridgerator? the food's been sitting out for at least 4 hours now."
mom: "well, ah, no because, well i... i thought you were going to eat at 5:30, so it wasn't that long."
phil: "that still would have been over 4 hours."
mom: "but it's not that hot now. the temperature isn't that bad."
phil: "the temperature for the food needs to be much closer to that of the refridgerator, otherwise it's too hot."
mom: "no it's not like it's 80 degrees. the food is fine. the other food i've packed for your lunch is in the refridgerator. so all the food we're not eating right away is in there."
phil: "i guess my point is i don't know why we don't just keep our food cold, so it doesn't rot."
mom: "i don't want to cool things if we're just going to reheat later to eat."


sidenote: my mom once YELLED at me for clearing the table and putting leftovers into the refridgerator because she wanted the food to cool on the counter first, stating, "if you put warm food in the refridgerator, it will cost more money because the refridgerator will need to use more electricity in order to keep the temperature at the stable level."
