Most mornings, my husband and I
have breakfast together

Most mornings, we both have the breakfast cereal,
Shredded Wheat

Two to three months can go by eating Shredded Wheat
every morning.

Then, unexpectedly, we switch to Corn Flakes
or Rice Krispies.

But that doesn’t last, and invariably,
we return to Shredded Wheat.

We both prefer the large biscuit-size Shredded Wheat
over the mini variety.

The large biscuits provide a greater surface area
for absorbing milk.

And speaking of milk, we both loathe
skim milk–regular 2% for us.

We both agree that Shredded Wheat isn’t that attractive
a cereal–the biscuits resemble little packets of hay.

But we don’t care.

Some say a long marriage is built on trust and respect.

Ours—has at its core—Shredded Wheat.
