An Aerial Assault Of Cereal Boxes

Cereal boxes have taken over my life. This was never a problem for me before because my husband and I each had our favorite brands that we ate all the time. We had a few cereal boxes in our cupboards, but they rarely took up too much space. Now that I have a child, the number of cereal boxes in my home has tripled. It’s an interesting phenomenon to tell you the truth. I don’t understand how the addition of one small person in my home could possibly cause the tripling of the number of cereals we need.

It’s happened though. I now have two cupboards full of cereal boxes. I’m not even sure why. What I do know is that my husband and my daughter always have the same argument in the grocery store. Each one wants a different type of cereal though they start out thinking they will find a box to share. Why my husband insists on trying to share each week boggles my mind. I figure that by now, he should know what is coming. He seems to forget that each week this share tactic always ends in tears for one of them. Ok, maybe he doesn’t exactly cry in the store, but sometimes I wonder.

What happens when the great cereal debate is over is what contributes to the mounting piles of cereal boxes in my home. They decide they both want something different, so we get two types of cereal. Sometimes, we end up with three. I don’t know if we are living in some alternate universe, but we seem to buy the bottomless kind of cereal boxes. They are never ending and before we can get one empty, new cereal boxes have roosted in my cupboards.

Perhaps I am just too lazy to deal with it or perhaps I’m just tired of getting rid of the last little bit of cereal that must be poisoned. It must be, otherwise why won’t anyone eat it? Surely it’s just as good as the stuff at the top of the box right? Occasionally, I get in a mood and I have to do something about it. This usually happens after I have opened the cupboard and sixteen cereal boxes have launched an aerial assault on my head. I’m sure this is planned. My husband would have you think that they are just falling out. I know better.

If you are also losing the endless battle with the cereal boxes in your home, I urge you to take a stand. Don’t allow the boxes to take over. Your very life could depend on it. Make sure your family is aware of the dangers. It only takes two cereal boxes to ruin a perfectly coifed hairdo and another to take a chunk out of your cheek. I’ve lived it and I want to spare you. Captain Crunch is just not as innocent as he looks.
