BHT: Cereal Killer

Cinnamon Toast Crunch will kill you. Fruity Dyno Bites won’t.

If you don’t believe me, ask my wife. That’s what she told me the last time I embarked on one of my favorite grocery store adventures: shopping for cereal.

Me: Let’s get some Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Rin: We’re not buying that anymore.

Just not of the “Oh Rin, you are HI-LAR-I-OUS” variety that makes me feel oh so good.

So, I went to bed early last night while Ric decided to watch some sub-par selection on Netflix. As I crawled into bed with my phone I decided to do something novel. I decided to open up the Bible app on my phone and actually follow day 4 of my Bible study plan I started about 3 weeks ago (Yeah, we may address that later).
