A Confession


Honey, I couldn't help myself. I ate a box of your mini-cereal 30 variety pack. Since I saw that there were Froot Loops in there a few days ago, and told you that story about when I was 8 and flying unaccompanied and had a big bag of Froot Loops and just wanted to eat them and read my book and kept having to shake my head when the damned flight attendants kept coming by to ask me if I wanted any food or something to drink, I've been thinking about Froot Loops. So I ate some.

They were staring at me.

I hadn't tasted the things in maybe 20 years, and of course they weren't as good as I remembered, and I didn't have them with milk since I don't really drink it anymore. Then again, I didn't have any milk when I was eating them on the plane either, all those years ago, so perhaps that just added to the nostalgia. I think they have more colors now than they used to; I don't remember neon green and aqua colors back then, just grape, orange, red, and lemon. I was pleased to see that they were still like M&Ms though, in that all the hues tasted exactly the same. I can still remember when I was a kid and used to separate them into piles by color, and then eat them separately while trying to notice if they tasted different. I was an analytical little shit too; and I'd sometimes do a blind taste test to see if I could tell red from orange, or lemon. I even remember arguing about them with some kids in school, when one other kid insisted they tasted different, and that he didn't like the yellow ones.

Anyway Malaya, that's why one box is missing from the cereal assortment. I was going to try an blame Dusty, but since he only eats non-food items (even more non-food than artificially flavored, Skittles-colored puffed corn rings) I didn't think that one would fly.

Love,

Fluxor
Comments:

Fruit loops singular flavor confirmed!

And honey, that's okay. I ate the last Hershey's Kiss. It was calling me from the box, you see.


 

I found some stuff that I thought might be dried fruit behind your refrigerator the other day, I ate that. It wasn't dried fruit at all!
