I had a slightly grumpy day today. Do you ever have slightly grumpy days? When I looked at the box of stale Lucky Charms on my counter, and read "Hidden Dragon Reveals in Milk!" I was p*ssed off. The nerve of of those fat old corporate men trying to sell carbohydrates to unsuspecting kids. I tossed the Lucky Charms, went to Trader Joe's, and defiantly bought their version of Cheerios. And some brown sugar and milk to put on it. Corporate greed p*sses me off. Then I was a tad "short" with my two ADHD students at Guitar Center, but I think it was good for the little sh*ts. Now I am relaxing at my palacial estate, wondering if I'll be grumpy tomorrow, when I go hiking with my buddy from Santa Barbara. Have you ever had a grumpy day? Have you ever been a cereal poster?

I do not like cereal it is to sweet. My kids loved Luck Charms.

Cheerios taste like Apple Wafers to me. But add a bit of milk and brown sugar and they're almost delicious.

@jstory07 I occasionally get Honey Nut Cheerios. But I like real brown sugar better.

I wonder if buttered hot oatmeal would have helped?

@TheHorse You decide. Yogurt is sometimes tasty instead of milk.

I think there ought to be a law against those toxic cereals aimed to reel in the kids ( or adults, as in this case since you obviously purchased them). Amazingly, our ancestors managed to raise kids on oatmeal, cooked wheat, and corn meal mush. Go do something fun, Pony, and shake off the grumpies, you old fart.

I can't tell you the last time I ate a bowl of cereal or even had milk in the house. But I CAN say I have had many grumpy days. Sometimes, though, I am accused of being grumpy when really I am just being right and someone disagrees. It is what it is. I hope you can make payout.

My third child always reminded me of the nursery rhyme about the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid. As a toddler, she had what we called a "NO" day every couple of weeks. Even now, as an adult, she still has a grumpy day every couple of weeks. The rest of the time she is the embodiment of sunshine.
