Cooling a pie on the windowsill is one of those cultural osmosis things where I've never seen anyone actually do it, but I know all about it nonetheless.

I think there are a crap ton of "tropes" that society does, but no one actually does it. I know times have changed and maybe they used to do all of them before. I think they just made a bunch of different scenes for shows and movies, but no one does it.

Like cooling a pie on a window sill, school talent shows, take your kid to work day. I'm sure there is more that I can't think about, but Hollywood also love putting a musical episode in shows that don't need them too.

I've been taken to work by my dad on a take your kid to work day more than once, and my junior high also had a talent show; but I've never seen a pie on a window sill.

I guess different cities growing up. I heard take your kid out of school so they can help pick crops day, but that's a different thing.
