There was a bowl of Reese's Puffs cereal sitting in front of me on the table; my favorite cereal. I stared at the little brown and tan balls of sugar bobbing in my milk then carefully gathered a spoonful of brown ones - there were too many, I had to get rid of them. I sued my spoon to pair each brown one with a tan one. Still too many browns. So, I ate some more. Perfect. I smiled at my little 'couples', dancing around in the milk, none of them lonely. Then I ate them each in their pair and imagined them all begging for me to eat them last.
The last couple was there and it seemed the lady of the group - the tan one - really did not want to be eaten, because she was purposefully avoiding my spoon.
I finally got her! The boy and girl both on my spoon, I shoved them into my mouth along with a little milk and crunched into the last bite of deliciousness.
