Food For Thought

Date of occurrence:
October 6, 2020.

Kc face-times me early this morning. He is about to start school. I ask him if he had breakfast yet. He says he did, but he didn’t like the shredded wheat. He put it aside and has no intention of eating it.

School is about to begin and we end the call. He usually calls me between periods and today is no exception.

About 45 minutes later, I get another face time call. The screen comes on and the first thing I see is his foot with some sort of goop oozing out from between his toes.

I recognize the goop. It is shredded wheat cereal. I bust out laughing and it takes me a few moments before I can talk again.

Me: “Did you just step in your bowl of cereal?”
Kc: “Yes!”
I can’t help but laugh and laugh, while Kc hobbles to the bathroom to clean his foot.

Me: “I knew you didn’t like your cereal, but stepping in it goes a bit far, huh?”
Kc is laughing as well and declares: “I forgot I had put the bowl on the floor.”
Me: “So, did you learn anything?”
Kc: “What?”
Me: “Don’t put your food on the floor!”
He agrees that was not wise.

He may not have had breakfast, but...

He got food for thought!
