This is a sad, but typical story.
Precious and The Onion
New Mommy made a pot roast. She coarsely chopped up half an onion. She gave the other half of the onion to Precious and told her to put it in a bag, and put it in the refrigerator for later use. Precious decided to do things her own way, and instead, chucked the onion in the trash. "Oh, well," she flippantly commented.
New Mommy realizes that Precious needs to learn the "we do not waste food" lesson. She sends Precious into the half-full trash to retrieve the onion. (If only New Mommy had taken a picture of Precious dumpster-diving...) Precious emerges with the onion, and asks to take the onion to the bathroom sink to rinse it off. Permission granted.
Three minutes later, New Mommy checks on the progress of the onion-washing. She is greatly dismayed to find that Precious has been using Dr. Bronner's liquid lavender soap to get the onion fastidiously clean. New Mommy gets the onion back from Precious and scrubs it vigorously to get the infusing of lavender out of the onion. This is unsuccessful.
New Mommy returns to the kitchen with the onion, chops off the outer edge that would have received the most soap exposure, and smells the remainder of the onion. It still smells quite strongly of onion-y lavender. New Mommy throws the half onion back in the trash.
And thus, we conclude the story of the wasted half-onion.
