I would like to discuss what this picture represents. I opened the pantry door just now to throw something away. I looked up and was shocked to see that we have what I believe to be TOO MUCH CEREAL!!! In case you don't see it well enough, there are 11 boxes of cereal on that shelf! I know for certain that I bought only one of those boxes although I nibble from all of them...but that's not what I wanna talk about.
Why would a household need this many different kinds of cereal? There are only two of us. I'm a Special K or Shredded Wheat kind of girl and my husband likes stuff with nuts and fruit in it. I worry that this plethera of choices indicates something about us that I don't like. Are we one of those couples who has too much stuff? Outside of the cereal shelf we don't seem to represent that couple. Maybe we can't decide what we like and we just keep trying to find what we're looking for. Maybe one of us is paranoid that we're going to run out. Maybe we're pack rats. Maybe we're expecting a lot of company I don't know about. Or maybe we keep thinking there's going to be a prize in the next box we buy.
Whatever it is, having this much cereal really makes me laugh. Oh wait, he's getting some right now..."hey, that sounds good, get me a bowl"
