Oatmeal was served on a rainy day
on a ugly plaid chintzy tray
it's flavor was a tastless gook
you didn't even want to look
Oh for eggs the children cried
but constantly they were denied
but now she's at a champagne brunch
with shrimp and caviar to munch
You are ever so clever, Miss Nancy Drew!!!
THANKS!

I love oatmeal! Almost as much as i love eggs. With cinnamon and brown sugar. Or, with cinnamon, vanilla, honey and peanut butter. Yes, peanut butter. Don't knock it till you try it!
Thanks, Captain O!
Will give it a shot!
Cheers!

i hate oatmeal and really I don't like any cereal i start most mornings with a protein shake and vitiamins, supplements and coffee. i only eat eggs if I'm in a restaurant for breakfast or a brunch maybe.
Love the story, Coco. Great how you focus on one benign (even bland) element of the relationship (oatmeal) and build the tension around it.
Thanks, BB!
Trying to remember there's a story here!
Always a pleasure "seeing" you.
CoCo's having OM for b'fast and eggs for lunch.
Cheap and filling
I do enjoy the way in which you keep the reader uncertain as to whose perspective is true or most accurate to the truth.
I suppose each one believes their perspective is true.
Funny, Coco, I was thinking about Lennie just the other day. His love was smothering!!!
How do you suppose that will be interpreted?

Not sure why the font is gigantic- on cell- sorry.
Well, rip, there's nothing quite like a smother's love . . .

Great stuff! Your writing, and oatmeal, and eggs.
I like my oatmeal lumpy and thick, with a little brown sugar and milk. I like my eggs just about any way possible. My favorite breakfast is eggs scrambled with some cream cheese, bacon, sliced tomatoes and sourdough toast, nearly burnt. Yummmmm. I have that at restaurants now and then, but at home it's oatmeal or toast, seldom cook eggs.
Interesting how your story has us focusing on our own tastes.
