Concerns of a Corn Flake

I'm afraid I'm Cornflakes. Not that there's anything wrong with Cornflakes, per se. They're still around after all these years; they are a solid standby. It's just that there isn't anything mysterious, exotic or alluring about Cornflakes. They're not colorful or unexpected in any way. Once in a while I even ask Mr. Wicke, "Who wants to eat Cornflakes day after day when there are hundreds of other options out there: Apple Jacks, Trix, Frosted Flakes, and Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch, for crying out loud. "

Deep down I think all women share this concern. Attracting our mate may be the easy part after all. How do you keep someone interested when they know all your bad habits, your beauty secrets, and your dumb jokes? What is there left to talk about when they already know all your best stories? One day won't he just get tired of the same old thing?

As of today Mr. Wicke has hung in there with me for 15 years. That's a lot of Cornflakes for one man.

And he doesn't seem to mind. After fixing Logan's hair this morning I walked into the kitchen to find this:

The note read:
A thought over breakfast as the day dawns on our 15th anniversary:

The best things in life are those glorious constants:
A crisp sunrise promising a new day;
Home that is always warm and familiar;
The quiet peace of Sunday;
Times and seasons of days, weeks, months, and years.

And then, of course, there are Cornflakes.
That delectable food that is so satisfying
I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
And sneak an extra helping for dessert...

Ode to my wonderful, delicious, lascivious...*
My very own, one and only heavenly helping of Cornflakes.

Turns out Mr. Milk likes Cornflakes. He even thinks we were made for each other. I guess that makes being Cornflakes just about perfect. (But I hope he doesn't mind if I get a little crazy once in a while and throw some banana slices in, just to spice things up!)
