Take it awaytake it down to the morgue

he ate too many dry cereal dinners baked potato dinners in college to be enthusiastic about either

                                                                                                      only stepped in front of a dry cereal now when he visited family his granddaughters their eyes were either too big for their stomachs or they finished the cereal but went to dump a pint of organic milk down the kitchen sinkDESPITEdespite him telling them before they sat down to eat NOT to waste milk

                                        ridiculous he was one of eight kids waste was sacrilegious these two might be brought into the fold if they missed a couple of dinners at random through the week experienced hungerthey were always starving to death they hadnt a clue what hunger was

                                                      he truly couldnt say he knew real Hunger anhe was grateful

he was also grateful they werent allowed sugared cerealhed be tempted to dump the milk he either drank the milk from their bowls or if enough cereal was floating or sunk he add a bit more for proportionality

he didnt visit oftenhe wasnt a grandmother

                                            anhe didnt withstand their withering commentariestheir attempted chiding pointing fingers at him telling him he ought to spend more time with his grandchildren

                                                                                        he cut them to the quick  I did for my childrentheir grandparents were rarely around My children will do for theirs Theres things I want to do Ive earned my selfishness an Im enjoying it

theyd shake their headsmutter Pitiful, pitiful, absolutely pitiful.

                                                                          Awwell might be he was still getting laid Not a child born could replace that 

I have oatmeal every morning.

Good for you Hot cereals good never ate hot cereal for dinner

What do you eat for breakfast?

I don

You don’t, that’s not good.

According to who

I, I think I believe, that is commonly knowncommon knowledge.

According to who

                   Hate to sound like a broken record but I havent had breakfast religiouslythe only thing I might consider religiously since I was a boyteenager

Oh no, that’s not good.

My healths been better than yours . . agreed

Well, yes, but . .

. . Yes I agree there are a lot of factors at play Perhaps a smokescreen But breakfast every morning is obviously not a make-or-break proposition

                            Should I happen to be hungry on a given morning Ill eat three raw eggs Jumbo Organic should I be hungry I believe theres more protein  possibly easier to digest too

people facesexpressions always slip queasy

Fact  Cold cereal usually doesnt make people queasy
