The Best Mom Ever, Well Sort Of

If I had to choose which meal of the day that I preferred preparing it would be breakfast. But lately it has been cold cereal for my clan. Here is a recent conversation between Ruby and me:

Ruby: Mom, you're the best Fruity Pebbles buyer on this whole street!
Me: Why thanks, I think.

I am pretty good if I do say so myself. I don't just grab the first box of Fruit Pebbles I see. My superior shopping instincts have taught me to look at the freshness date on the box so my family gets the best Fruity Pebbles available. I really feel sorry for the rest of the moms on my street. They never had a fighting chance.
