This isn't a Sitcom. This is Actually My Life.

So, I go out to the kitchen this morning, start up the coffee, and as the fumes waft out from the coffee maker and the brain starts working, I see something on the counter.

A cereal bowl.

But that is not cereal in there.

It's something else.

wolf: momwolf, did you separate all the raisins out of the Raisin Bran Crunch Extra Cereal?

momwolf: Yes, I did. I know I asked you to buy it at the store, but I tried it and it was really too hard for my teeth. I just know I'm going to break one!

wolf: Yeah, you said that the other night. But why did you take all the raisins out?

momwolf: Well, I asked you if you'd eat it, and you said you wouldn't because you don't like raisins in other foods. So I picked them out. I left the dried cranberries, almond slices, and yogurty clusters in it for you.

wolf: oh ... hmmmm ... you know what, that looks like a whole lot less than two scoops in there, unless they are really tiny scoops.

momwolf: There weren't a lot of raisins to start with, but well, I did eat some of them.

At least she has a hobby.

how very thoughtful of her

classicman · 02-19-2009, 02:16 PM

Momwolf is the sweetest.

You ARE sure they're raisins...................right?

Trilby · 02-19-2009, 02:23 PM

She was good and right to remove those raisins. Raisins are evil, evil fruit. Let's never speak of them again.

Shawnee123 · 02-19-2009, 02:25 PM

My guess is it's not two scoops because once they started adding the twigs and rocks they used less raisins. I think the two scoops guarantee only applies to real raisin bran.

That's a whole lot going on in a cereal, for me.

You know, though, that does sound like sitcom dialogue, and I should know: I'm a sitcom junkie.

"Scoops" have got to be one of the most precisely defined scientific measurements I can think of.

We used to have a product here on the market called Sultana Bran. We may still do, I don't know. It's Bran Flakes, with sultanas.

My mean Mum refused to buy it. Why? Because it was cheaper to add your own. But they didn't taste the same! The sultanas in Sultana Bran were all dried out from the cereal. And all coated in bran dust. They were a juicy surprise, a treat sensation.

Rasins/ sultanas added are just dried fruit. Pah.

Sell them on eBay. They have a market amongst people like me.

Tap @ the clover honey... Mmmmm

wolf · 02-19-2009, 03:40 PM

It goes great on the oatmeal.

It goes great on the banana bread.

And it goes great in the coffee.

All purpose condiment.

I will put it on the chicken fingers, but not on the hot dogs and burgers.

That's actually not the standard honey in the wolf household. I just got it because I was at a different supermarket than my usual, and I needed a large amount of honey because I'm considering some baking. The regular stuff is a mid-grade wildflower honey.

But...how do you know?--they don't even have faces!

Clodfobble · 02-19-2009, 05:23 PM

Their evil faces are hidden behind the wrinkles, just like English bulldogs.

Flint · 02-19-2009, 05:26 PM

Hmmm...yes, wrinkley things are among the most evil.

TheMercenary · 02-19-2009, 05:31 PM
