Don't cry over spilled cereal

I call it The Great Cheerios Crash of 2023.

It happened because I was being my typical absent-minded self, trying to multitask at a moment when I should have been using both my hands to put the cereal box back where it belonged.

Instead I kinda shoved it into place and called it good enough. Gravity clearly had other plans, and it did its thing not long after I turned my back.

Now, most normal folks, mortified by their sheer stupidity, would have immediately cleaned the mess up. But I’m far from normal folks, and I just stood there and stared at the spectacle of crashed Cheerios on a ceramic tile floor.

Eventually I thought it might make a fun photo.

The universe may see this as another reminder that gravity always wins. But I prefer to think it’s always good for our mental health to skip a beat and take a photo after we’ve been klutzy in the kitchen.

For the record, the five second rule doesn’t apply here. Probably just as well.
