Cereal Can't Hurt You

One would think.  What a delicious breakfast treat! Vitamins upon vitamins.  Milk is involved. Nutritious, healthy.  MADE to be good for you.


But it's like everything.  I'm not your best friend anymore. E and I had this conversation in the car this morning:

Mama:  I am your best friend and I want you to buckle.

E:  I am not your best friend anymore.

Mama:  I am still your best friend but I need you to buckle,

E: No more best friend talk!

Mama: That's cool, But you should definitely buckle.  Also, I am still your best friend. I love you.

E: (sighs) I am so tired.  No more best friend talk.  Mommy, I am not your best friend.

Mama:  Whaaaaaat? I am your best friend, And I just bought you apple juice.  So shut it. And buckle.

E: I am so TIRED.

Mama: Me, too.   Are you my best friend?

E nods.

We're cool, then.
