Breakfast.<\/p>\n
Little one, being a little stubborn.<\/p>\n
“NO Gwumpa, no want food for breakfast.”<\/p>\n
I offer a single bit of cereal. “Here, I got a new type (it really was a new type, I wasn’t lying). \u00a0Try this out and see if you like it. \u00a0You don’t have to eat the whole bowl. \u00a0I’m just testing to see if you like this new one.”<\/p>\n
[nom]<\/p>\n
I walk away.<\/p>\n
The little one pipes up. “HEY GWUMPA I LIKE IT. \u00a0I can have more? \u00a0With milk in it?”<\/p>\n
The gods of Madison Avenue were smiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
