My First Love- My Long Time Love Affair With Breakfast Cereal

I had fallen in love with her at a very young age. Hers was the first name I uttered aloud, and I enjoyed many, many days sitting and consuming every bit of her essence. I would dream about her, and even call her name out in the midst of my dreams. It could be morning, noon, or night I just had to be with her as often as possible and I am convinced she felt the same way about me.
    This love I am speaking of is cereal. Yes, I know it is a little strange but yes I had fallen madly in love with cereal. So much, that it was indeed my first words. Not mommy, daddy, or potty but cereal. I have some very fond memories in my childhood, getting up around 6:15 am and brushing my teeth and rushing to the kitchen to dive into a heaping bowl of Frosted Flakes and enjoying them amidst the previous days episode of Power Rangers. It never failed, I had to have it and my day would not go right if I did not. Then I would ride the bus to school, and I received free lunch because of my family’s financial disability so I would have yet another bowl. My day was at that point astounding! Then after school, I would rush home and pour up another bowl and have at it again while watching X-Men and Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. As Spider-Man was coming on, my mom would be coming home so I would try my best to scarf down another bowl before she got there. It was an intense love affair, but I am so much stronger because of it.
    I never really had a preference, it just really depended on how I felt that moment. I like everything from Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp, Apple Jacks, and Honey Nut Cheerios. My favorite thing to do is mix two kinds together. Don’t ask me why, its just something about having one of your favorite cereals and halfway through you reach another one. It really gets the adrenaline pumping! The best combination I believe would be Frosted Flakes, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Make sure you put the Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the bottom, because the Frosted Flakes get soggy sooner and I hate cereal that doesn’t crunch when I chew it. I am not supposed to be eating baby food!
    Now that I am an adult, I look back at my life and I get really excited about my future. I still see cereal every now and again, just not quite as often because I am a busy man. Not to mention, the price has gone up and its hard to keep her around! Though the thing that makes me most excited is when I find a woman that has the same feelings I do about cereal, and can treat me half as good as she does I believe I have found my true purpose in life. To love and be loved by my beautiful wife and share it over a gigantic bowl of our favorite cereal.
