Afternoon, Kittens!

Cat here. Just thought I’d take a pause in my busy day to check in and pose a question about something that has always irked me. What is up with people and cereal? Think about it. People will argue to the death about their favorite crispy morning treat. I tend to be a Cinnamon Toast Crunch girl *waits patiently for two free boxes to arrive at her doorstep*, but I don’t impose my adoration of that particular cereal on others.

I’ve seen someone get irate over the fact that someone else didn’t share their love for Wheaties. I mean, they’re Wheaties. Give us a break. Not everyone wants to be a triathelete, run-around-a-track-for-no-reason, feel-the-burn kind of person. Sometimes we just want no-nutrition-whatsoever-will-probably-kill-you-in-the-long run-sugary-goodness without your fitness guru judging eye.

My great grandfather loves hot cereal. Otherwise known as oatmeal. Otherwise known as might-as-well-be-already-chewed-food. *shudders with disgust* It brings him so much joy to start his day with a steaming bowl of tasteless goop. And he tried to get me to eat it for years. YEARS. Obviously his efforts failed, but he would swear on all manner of items and people that something was wrong with me because I can’t stand oatmeal.

Have you ever had someone go bananas on you for not falling in love with their cereal of choice? Or are YOU that person *shakes finger knowingly*? And if you are the judgy cereal-enforcer that we all despise, do tell: What’s up with that?
