Breakfast with The Frumplingtons
(Yeah, I know. Sounds like the booby prize in a celebrity blogging competition, doesn’t it?)
“How can I eat my cereal without a spoon?”
No, it’s not one of those logic puzzles. It’s another episode in our familiar ’slice of life’ style. (The Frumplingtons: Britain’s best-loved kitchen sink drama.)
Quite simply, Shana had prepared her breakfast (ie, poured it out of the box) and, in her eagerness to start eating it, had forgotten her spoon. No further analysis required.
Nerds’ Corner
Brainy types who are determined to treat the above cereal-related question as a puzzle might like to consider the following two solutions:
- Rice Krispies could be eaten by using a pair of tweezers.
- Corn Flakes can be eaten with chopsticks.
While on the subject of breakfast, I had fried eggs on toast this morning. Clearly, I am incorrigibly working class.
Footnote:
Shana came back to the kitchen for a spoon shortly after realising she had forgotten it. Her cereal of choice this morning was Luxury Maple and Pecan Clut Nusters.
Keen observers will have noticed that I included a spoonerism in that last sentence.
Anyone out there feel like we’re just going round in circles here?
