I'm an idiot

Or, at least, I can't read. We winterized the trailer yesterday. John mentioned that he hadn't gotten much antifreeze in the sinks and the traps might freeze. So I went in the garage, grabbed the jug with the pink liquid in it (only an inch or two left, as he said), and poured it down all the traps.

Tonight, he came in asking if I had put windshield wiper fluid in my car. Noooo... Yes, the brand he's been buying is pink, not the traditional blue. And yes, I never even looked at the label of the jug I poured down the sinks. So, yes, the trailer has windshield wiper fluid in the traps. Sigh...

I always tell the kids to read labels. I really do have a master's degree in science!

Windshield wiper fluid works almost as well as antifreeze...

You aren't an idiot, you are just in a hurry. :) I find I need to slow down and read things a lot of the time or I do things exactly like that.

If it is any consolation I took the car into an auto place and they didn't know that approved Honda coolant is blue so they thought it was windshield wiper fluid. Let's say I won't be going back to them (They also left caps from the bottles in the engine)
