Buttons for Breakfast

Ethan and Janelle spent the night. Grampy made oatmeal, yogurt and links. But the food that was served up to Grampy was a plate of buttons.

All of my buttons were pushed during the eating process. A lion eating a gazelle doesn't make as much of a mess.

I didn't know that oatmeal is considered a finger food. I also didn't know that food is to be piled mountain high on a spoon. And then that spoon is to be held sideways while the child nibbles slowly at the food. Which then pushes the mountain of food off of the other end of the spoon.

When a child finishes eating, uneaten oatmeal cascades like heavy rain when they stand up.
