Yoo 390 - The Portability of Cheerios: An Infraction

It's no confession that I have anal tendencies. Sometimes. We won't point any fingers but it's mostly parental bestowed and my mom's not the generous one in this regard. Though this one might be partially mostly pointed to the Kyoo mom, if we were pointing fingers. In the guilty party's defense, whoever that should be, shall I mention how good some of these tendencies are? Like giving my all and not quitting and working really, really hard?

Within reasonable limits, there are good anal tendencies.

But then there are those a little more like this. Let's just dive right into the Kyoo mind.

Beepity-bloop-bloop-splash! Kyoo mind here.

Look at this picture.


You see Cheerios, right? Cheerios.

I see Cheerios too. But PORTABLE Cheerios and NON portable Cheerios. We must distinguish.


The portable Cheeerios (bowl included!) were luckily acquired, we would never buy them, after all! Price per ounce comparison? Atrociously in favor of the non portable Cheerios. But the portable Cheerios are currently in stock, quantity one in the Kyoo condo and shall be saved for something special. A breakfast-on-the-go type of occasion? Or maybe a natural disaster? Can you imagine curling up in a high school gymnasium with hundreds of other people and your little bowl of portable Cheerios?? I'm certain it would make everything better...

The portable Cheerios are special and any occasion to eat must prove its worthiness!!

Ahem.


The non portable Cheerios (no bowl included!) were Costco acquired and, surprisingly, actually name-brand. We have a monthly coupon to thank for that! Servings per container? Forty-nine. Kyoo servings? About six. Still drastically cheaper than the portable Cheerios and meant for consumption on stationary mornings. Just as delicious as the portable Cheerios but designed with serving control in mind. Super hungry? Eat the whole bag. Just a little hungry? One bowl of stingy coming right up!

The non portable Cheerios aren't quite as special and are appropriate for everyday use.

Whew! I'm glad we got thru that. Now this.


This is the Gregmuncher happily downing the portable Cheerios for breakfast. Probably mostly pleased that he's feeding himself with no help from the Kyoowife, with a heavy dose of ignorant bliss on the side. Remember how he is not porting them anywhere. That's important.

This is Captain Jack Sparrow imitating Kyoo's facial response upon sighting the Gregmuncher.



"But why are you eating the portable Cheerios??"

I think we can all imagine what happened after that. This was a serious Cheerios infraction, my friends! The portable Cheerios were being wasted on an inferior situation! Just normal breakfasting!

As there currently is no off-switch wired, this is where we leave the Kyoo mind to its incessantly anal processing.

Splash-bloop-bloop-beepity...back!

For the record, I didn't go COMPLETELY bonkers over the Cheerios infraction. Maybe just a little. But mostly I realized, eventually, that it wasn't THAT big of a deal and life could go on. I guess.

But can we have a moment of silence for the wasted portable Cheerios? Is that too ridiculous?

...

Have a great day :-)

Lol. Not anal at all. ;)

I know it's not *quite* the same as having pre-packaged portable Cheerios, but an ingenious solution can be fabricated using an empty sour cream container and a careful pouring out of Costco Cheerios....
