Cereality.

This afternoon we had one of those 5-minute scenarios that truly illustrates the humor and dynamics of life with two young boys. Before viewing the series of photos below, you should be aware of the following...

• We have a rule (it's a joke) that both boys cannot be crying at the same time. Only one at a time. So if your brother is crying ... wait your turn.
• We should expect a personal thank you letter from the people at General Mills for the umpteen boxes of Wheat Chex we purchase each month. The boys love eating cereal (yes, the same kind over and over again) as much as Scott does ... so much so Wheat Chex is known in our house as "Daddy's Cereal." Jami has gotten some strange looks at the store when buying 5 boxes of Wheat Chex. Yes, the people in my house like it THAT much.
• When eating Wheat Chex, thou shalt not covet thy brother's bowl. Eat your own.

"Hmmm... Wonder if Luke cares if I sneak a bite? Mom gave me Cheerios, not Wheat Chex. NOT what I really wanted. Oh, Luke won't mind..."

"Uh-oh. That plan backfired. Luke's upset now! Maybe if I cry, too, Mom will give me my own bowl."

Problem solved. Eating peacefully in unison.
