like the one about horseshoes and four-leaf clovers and how lucky we were to be enjoying a wonderful meal of breakfast cereal together as a family around the table.

Or the one about how our Marshmallow Mateys were shaped like anchors and how we were weighed down by the financial crisis that had led us to buy Malt-O-Meal instead of General Mills.

And I'll never forget the conversations we had as we ate our Alpha-bits and tried to understand the nonsense words in our spoons.

Man, what would we have even talked about if it weren't for breakfast cereal??
