You cannot beat some Cheerios early in the morning...well unless its a sesame bagel loaded with cream cheese. But these little round things of "Fish Food" as my parents call them make me think back to my childhood.
Every morning my mother would come and wake me up and only give me one 5 minute snooze before she would turn the light on. I would get ready and come down to the morning table to have my bowl of Cheerios in this white bowl, that I still to this day use, and have breakfast with my mom. She would have her brown sugar pop tart and her coffee (if she didn't leave it in the microwave) and I would have my Cherrios. She would read the newspaper and I would "read" the comic section, but it was really looking at the pictures, as we sat at the table in the quiet morning before my sisters came screaming out of the bathroom before school.
I value these memories and whenever I have my bowl of Cherrios in the white bowl, I think of my mom and our morning quality time.
