The Label is Wrong (Again)

featuring Mom 2.0

::Every morning, Jeff found the coffee creamer sitting out on the counter, often nearing room temperature.  Every morning, he put it back in the fridge.  Eventually, he told Mom 2.0.::

Jeff:  You know, I keep putting the creamer back in the fridge every morning.  Do you realize that you leave it out?

Jeff:  The label says, "Keep refrigerated."

Mom 2.0:  Yeah, but it just says that.

Here is my reimagining of how it went:
