The other day I was eating a bowl of cereal. It was one of those healthy kinds with chia seeds, buckwheat, and apple chunks. It looked kind of strange - not like the usual flake cereal.
My husband walked past me and did a double take. "What is that?" he asked, peering into the bowl.
"Bird seed," I said.
He gave me a funny look. "That's not bird seed. It's rocks and pebbles. You're eating a bowl of rocks and pebbles."
"No, it's not 'rocks and pebbles'," I said. I showed him the bag of cereal.
He took it from me, and got out a black marker. He crossed out the name of the cereal and wrote, Rocks and Pebbles, across the top.
So, now ladies and gentlemen, every morning, I eat a bowl of rocks and pebbles - the breakfast of champions!
Sure. Why not?
ReplyDeleteIt tasted pretty good, so I'm going to keep eating rocks and pebbles.
DeleteI would've done the same thing!
ReplyDeleteAre you a comedian like my husband?
DeleteHi, Sherry! You should change your name to Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, dear friend!
I'm sure they ate lots of rocks and pebbles. ;-)
DeleteHave a great day!
I guess that's one way to prove you're right! I'll have to remember that...
ReplyDeleteAll you need is a marker.
DeleteI love your family! LOLOL! :)
ReplyDeleteWe're a bunch of comedians!
DeleteThat sure is the breakfast of champs. Haha
ReplyDeleteHealthy stuff. Maybe they should actually market it as "Rocks and Pebbles." Lots of people might try it just for the funny name.
DeleteYes, it is whatever the label says. Even if it is newly written!
ReplyDeleteLabels are always right, right?
Delete'tis a classic bedrock moment
ReplyDeleteYes, it was!
DeleteLOL! There's a husband of WIN. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe's a funny guy.
DeleteToo funny. Your hubby has a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I hope it was tasty. Some health foods are and others taste like bird food.
ReplyDeleteThis actually was. Some health foods do taste rather bland. I'll eat rocks and pebbles again. ;-)
DeleteWhen the word gets out Rocks and Pebbles will be a big hit! The company will wonder why their marketing was so good!
ReplyDeleteThe company should just call the stuff Rocks and Pebbles. It's much more interesting than their current name.
DeleteKeep eating your ricks and pebbles. Now I know who Bubba takes after. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Bubba is a mini version of my husband!
DeleteHey, teeth need a workout too
ReplyDeleteHaha! Fortunately, milk does a good job of softening the rocks and pebbles I ate!
DeleteHow about some nice scrambled eggs instead? I'm afraid your teeth will fall out.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Scrambled eggs? Nah. Rocks and pebbles are far more interesting. ;-)
DeleteHaha... some of that cereal does look like that xox ♡
ReplyDeleteThis stuff really looked like rocks and pebbles. The chia seeds were tiny and black, and the other stuff looked like grains of sand and pieces of gravel. It looked weird, but it was healthy and tasted good.
Deletehahha...That name sounds Even Better and Fun :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. I should write to the company and tell them to name their cereal, Rocks and Pebbles. ;-)
DeleteThat's kind of funny that your husband actually wrote that on there. I've never thought of that healthy food as rocks and pebbles...but I could totally see bird seed :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband writes a lot of things on our food. When I got a box of Corn Flakes, he wrote, "No Cornflake Chicken," across it. Apparently that wasn't a favorite!
DeleteLet us find better ways to make health foods yummy...
ReplyDeleteNice post...say hi to your hubby :) Hope he is reading all these comments :)
He does occasionally. He threatens to comment one of these days. ;-)
Deletelol...
DeleteGreat post, cheered my day up.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I'm glad it made you smile!
