The Cheerio Incident

During breakfast shift the other day, I saw that the pan full of cheerios was getting rather low. So I pulled out the giant bag of cheerios (contains about 3 boxes worth) in order to fill up the pan. While doing so, I was talking to Kate about something or other and suddenly heard a strange pitter patter noise. It sounded like a down pour of rain had hit the boat at first…then I looked down and saw cheerios falling all over the floor. I guess the bag had been opened before I got a hold of it, and of course I happened to pick it up from the opposite side it had been opened. Needless to say, I had a big mess to clean up, but Kate wasn’t having the best of days and I managed to make her laugh. She told me later that the cheerio incident was very much needed : )

Now I know to be much more careful whenever I pull a bag of cheerios, rice crispies or corn flakes out!
