Maxime loves cereal. Like his Papa. And we like many of the same ones. Our favorite, without any competition is .... Captain Crunch! That's right. And it comes direct from the US of A, because you cannot get it here (what are those Frenchies thinking, I ask ya), but we have a certain Meresy in the US of A who send us boxes and boxes of said Capitain Crunch. !!! :-)
Now, Maxime is different. He was born different. Take cereal, for example. For years, he would eat it (are you ready?) ... without milk. Like I said ....
Now the other day, as I meander into the kitchen, what do I find? Maxime eating cereal with milk, but out of a glass. Now while I will admit this makes more sense than the previous rendition sans lait, I am waiting for the day when I see him eat cereal out of a bowl, in proper-like, American fashion. He is half American, after all. Or one quarter, I guess.
Ah, I get it now. That's the problem.
