Breakfast from Home: Special K

By Ed Bruske

While daughter and I were having breakfast at school the other day I noticed that a fourth-grade girl nearby had brought a bag of cereal from home. What did she plan to do with it? I wondered.

I didn't have to wonder very long. I watched as she poured the cereal--Special K, she said--directly onto her plastic cafeteria tray, then covered it with milk.

I guess this is what you do when you don't have your own bowl. Aren't kids clever?
