The kids are into the vitamin fortified, heavily sweetened, styrofoam plastic bits. They come under a lot of names, but you know the ones. They've also reached the age where the toy or the saving of boxtops is as important as whatever the cereal is. Apple Jacks just scored since there are Pokemon figures inside.

I can't really blame them. When I was that age I thought Battle Creek, Michigan was the epicenter of all things wonderful. At school however, the cereal type breakfasts, no matter what cereal, didn't rank as high on the "Bluebird Breakfast Chart" as did the "healthy" combos of eggs, bacon, sausage, buttered toast.........I'm surprised now that they didn't give extra health points for a cup of coffee and a smoke on the side.
