Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 01, 1989
Transcript:
Calvin: 'Morning, Dad! How's your breakfast? Dad: Fine. Calvin: Oatmeal, huh? A bowl of pasty, bland, colorless sludge. Dad: Yes, why dont' you go describe your own food somewhere else? Calvin: I'll bet you'd rather have a bowl of tasty, lip-smacking, crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside, choclate frosted sugar bombs! Can I pour you some? Dad: No thanks, I'm trying to reach middle age. Calvin: What are you having, Mom? Boring old toast and tea? Mom: You want the beanie, you eat the cereal, Calvin.

He eats so much of the cereal anyway. Get 4 boxes, store 3 of them away, get the beanie and be done. It’s one of those instances where getting him what he wants suits your own benefit as well.

Toast and tea sounds good to me.

Oatmeal isn’t colorless. It’s beige.
