Taking it literally

This morning, Rachel didn’t get up until right before we left to take Hayden to school. I dressed her quickly, but she made it clear she wanted breakfast, too, when she brought a box of Trix over to me.

I promised her she’d be able to eat when we got home. That wasn’t enough, so I assured her, “Okay, you can have some cereal in your stroller.”

I meant on the way to school, in the stroller’s tray.

But she took me literally.

In case you can’t tell; it’s a ton. It’s a whole box.
