I realize that at times people will say "this is the best/worst thing ever!" Of course people aren't complete idiots... Well who are and aren't isn't the point. The point is that if I ask them if it reeally is that which they claim they fold. I'm guilty of the same thing.
This morning I went through one of the worst of the trivial experiences, if not the worst (It's in a category so that makes it more plausible). As I generally do every morning I woke up climbed down from bed and lumbered to the kitchen. I was groggily able to fill the water pot and turn it on for tea. Then reached above, like I do nearly every day of the year, and pulled down a bowl. With practice half-awake grace I shuffled across the kitchen swung open the pantry door and pulled out my golden morning prize. As I poured my morning portion of honey nut cheerios I opened the refrigerator door to add the desired amount of milk that would soon be turned into a honey mixture to drink down as a final breakfast treat. To my dismay there was not a drop of milk in the fridge, my shoulders hunched, my spirit defeated. My only choice was to repeat my morning ritual in reverse and pour back my cereal. I had been demoralized, I couldn't go on. My alternative was a pair of Pop-tarts but how could I eat them without milk? Tea had to do. With each bite I was reminded of how I could not have what I most desired, cold cereal had eluded me.
It was the worst of the trivial.
