Grape Nuts
Posted on | July 6, 2010 | No Comments
She had never seen a box of Grape Nuts so big before. It had always come in a tiny box because it was such a HEAVY cereal. (Cereal was stretching it, box of rocks was more like it.) This box was enormous.
Instead of the bacon, eggs, and toast or french toast and sausages or other enormous breakfasts her Mother would present her with each morning, this morning it was going to be something light (ha ha) a bowl of cereal with fruit.
So she poured a small amount of grape nuts into the bowl. She’d made the mistake of filling the bowl before and felt like she’d swallowed an anchor when she was done. Topped it with some sugar because these rocks have little sweetness and added her strawberries and blueberries.
And that began the longest breakfast of the entire trip. It takes forever to chew one spoonful of Grape Nuts. And it’s loud! You are definitely forced awake while consuming your breakfast. And then little exhausted from all the chewing.
Perhaps it’s time for a nap.
