Mom asks for help on a unit conversion problem that she's been trying to figure out all day.
I tell her how to solve it in a minute.
She insists that I'm wrong.
I explain why I'm right. The measurement is in ounces, not fluid ounces, and needs to be converted to pounds, and therefore does not need density.
She knows she's wrong, but can't admit that the method she used was incorrect, even though she specifically stated that it would be pointless to measure onions in fluid ounces.
I just don't understand people sometimes.
