And she feels grumpy, off, and a little bit crazy if she doesn’t follow her routine of tea, newspaper, and two big bowls of Special K Red Berries? And her son's equally rigid ritual includes having ample milk in which to bathe his 6 at a time, yes exactly 6, Frosted Mini Wheats?

shares it equally with him even though she knows it won’t entirely coat her first bowl, let alone her second.
She does not comment when he still has milk left in the bowl when he’s finished. But she does notice.
