Two Scoops

The other morning, as I poured myself a bowl of raisin bran, I got a lot of raisins. It reminded me of a morning back in high school when our raisin bran had seemed especially heavy on the raisins, light on the bran. I had noticed it all week, and finally commented on it.

"Wow, they don't lie when they say they put in two scoops of raisins! But I think they should start using smaller scoops, because this is almost too many raisins for me."

My mom came over, peered into my cereal bowl, and had to agree. There were a lot of raisins.

My older sister, also at the table, sat especially quiet with a guilty look on her face . She then fessed up. Every time she had a bowl of raisin bran, she would carefully pick out all the raisins.

And put them BACK into the box with the rest of the cereal.

We all started laughing. It wasn't the cereal company's two scoops - it was my sister!
