This morning I decided to have hot cereal for breakfast. I put water in a pot, put it on the stove, and opened the pantry. As I reached for the Cream of Wheat I realized I was apologizing to the oatmeal for not choosing it.

What?

This morning, two days later, I made amends and had oatmeal for breakfast, so now all is well in the pantry.
