Reality

The kids talked me into buying them some of that horrible sugary cereal for them the other day, and on the back of the box, they had this humorous display:

One of the biggest things that has made breakfast cereal such a staple in the Standard American Diet (or SAD for short) is how they A) put little toys inside with the cereal and B) put such fun and interesting games all over the box. They do the same with Happy Meals, and now they have to outlaw them to get people to stop buying them.

This box made me chuckle enough that I had to take a picture of it. I thought I'd share it with you all, and then move on, but the little guy decided that it was actually worth cutting it out and assembling it. To make sure that our house didn't wind up like the one on Better Off Dead:



We poured all the cereal into a backup container.

And then Little got to work cutting out the pieces.

At first, he thought maybe he would just skip cutting out the eye opening, and make them virtual reality goggles after all. He even colored in a nice virtual reality that you could experience with your glasses on.

In the end, however, he decided it wasn't all that fun to wear a mask that made it so you couldn't see anything. Instead, he cut out the eye hole, and experienced the beauty of actual reality. I tried it too. It was pretty impressive. Everything looked so realistic; I was blown away.
