This old gal…
Isn’t a big breakfast cereal fan…the fruities are too sweet…the others too bland…would occasionally eat cornflakes…but hate how the sugar doesn’t stay on the flake…and sinks to the bottom of the bowl… Enter Frosted Flakes…duh…corn flakes with sugar…stuck…to…the…flake…a current household favorite…can’t believe this old gal was this many years old…before realizing Tony the Tiger had the perfect mix of sweet and crunch… Pulled down the box for a bedtime snack and was drawn to something on the front…a prize…a prize inside the cereal box…didn’t know that was still a thing… 6 year old me in this 60 year old body…got kind of excited…remembering the thrill of the little hand burrowing into the box…in search of the toy hidden in the flakes…or waiting patiently for a box to be emptied…so tops could be cut and mailed…in order to get a free…Millie Mod Remco Finger Ding doll… With little hesitation…wondering what color it would be…old lady hand dug down…in search of the prize…a stretchy spoon straw…just what every old cereal eating gal needs… And what a thrill…showing this husband of mine the cool cereal prize…crunching away while watching Seinfeld reruns…remembering days gone by…the joys of youth…innocent…simple…fun… And this husband of mine…agrees…
