Windex
You must have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding to get this one. My wonderful dad did a Toula's dad thing, who thought Windex was the cure for all ailments - from zits to psoriasis to poison ivy. Apparently, Windex can be used for household purposes too. B and I had an ant problem coming from our backyard. They were going through our backdoor and even making holes in our window sills to get in.
Me: [handing Dad damp paper towels] Dad, what do you use at home for this problem? You used ant killer stuff and poured it all over their nests, right?
Dad: Huh? Oh, not anymore - that only works temporarily. [continues to clean up the ants inside the house along the doorstep]
Me: [watching Dad clean up dead ants and pointing to more coming in] Dad, you're never gonna get all of them. So...what do you use then?
Dad: Oh, easy. Windex. It works wonders. I don't think they came back for awhile.
Me: [laugh at the thought of it and as I think about My Big Fat Greek Wedding] So that's temporary too then.
Dad: What's so funny? [smiles] Yeah, but it lasts longer!
Me: We're out of Windex though.
Dad: Oh, then I guess use your ant spray for now.
Me: [shakes head] Why couldn't we use that in first place?
Dad: Because Windex is better!
Needless to say, the ants eventually went away, but not with Windex. Maybe we should give it a shot come this summer, when they come crawling back, no pun intended.
