What precious, raw and thoughtful words here. I felt sympathy for your sweet momma, and wanted to have a bowl right there with her. With some banana cut up in it. There was some meme going around a while ago that was a little boy eating a bowl of cereal and tilting the box towards his face and reading it while slurping his spoonfulls. I think it said something like 'before cell phones we used to read cereal boxes' and I sent it to my brother because that is so true! Every word. We studied those things. I love this post.
Kelly! I love this! and those banana slices are just the best! My mom shares them with all the dogs (her one and our two surrounding her as she eats, waiting patiently for a taste :). Now we're home I am in the silence doing this and wishing I was there in her kitchen., thinking of all the more I could have done or said or not said...
and THIS is most definitely what we did before cell phones. and it was the best. Still is.
Yes !! We read the cereal boxes. Each one of us. Backs and fronts, ingredients, gram weights. Silence with intermittent crunches and clanging. I miss those mornings. I miss every stinking thing that I wasn't meant to find magical but was. Grateful to remember and grateful to have a friend who sees the world like I do. I loooooove your words and the pictures you add to them ! Write on !!
Mary!!! Yesss! We definitely need to meet someday and laugh out loud together while hugging out our struggles! I love how you see the world too like me 🥰 ... and how many times have we read those cereal boxes!! The Cinnamon Toast Crunch one is my sweet mom's way of still making us feel childhood.
