Transcript

Fellow Midwesterners, I am placing the tater tots on my tater tot hot dish. And we have a his-and-hers side because on my side, the tater tots are nicely lined up like it's supposed to be. But my wife believes that the tater tots can be just tossed on all willy-nilly, so I created her side this way. So, yeah. I live in a split household.
