So the kids really enjoy cereal now, which is great news for Mommy (and Daddy) because we don’t have to fire up the old stove at 7am anymore. Breakfast literally out of boxes. Brilliant.

The kids have been eating all types of cereals. We started with Fruity Loops, but that didn’t work too well. And then we got on to Rice Krispies, which was more amusing than it was tasty as far as Rae was concerned (Sky will eat pretty much anything, and still be scrawny - now where did she get those genes?). And then they got really excited about Cocoa Krispies, which was tasty AND amusing, so woohoo.

Having finished our second box of Cocoa Krispies, we went shopping for more yesterday. Now Rae is the one in charge of her cereal (like I said, Sky doesn’t really care), and I pretty much let her pick anything she can reach.

And by mere chance, she picked out Cocoa Puffs.

I don’t know much about children’s cereals but Oh. My. God.

Crunchy, chocolatey, salty balls of flavourful whole grain.

Is this the tastiest chocolatey children’s cereal ever invented? HELL YEA!

Why have I never tasted this before?! Why has NOONE told me about this?! WHY DID I ONLY DISCOVER THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FUCKING DIET!!!??

If I ever do ruin Project 12, I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of my (seemingly) innocent four-year old, because OF COURSE I have totally no self control when it comes to chocolate! Come on! 120 calories for a 3/4 cup? What, that’s two bites?

Gimme a freakin’ break!

Now I have to literally avert my eyes and close my ears every morning as the kids slurp up this chocolatey cereal that is truly meant for the gods, with Rae going, “Mmmm!!” and Sky going “YUMMY!” with every goddamn bite.

If this is what inspired the song Chef sang, it is a fitting tribute.

I hate you, General Mills.

Maybe I should call this blog The I’mPerfect Country Bumpkin.
