I recently bought a box of Rice Krispies and gave them to my daughter, Lacey, for breakfast one morning. She had never had Rice Krispies (outside of having a Rice Krispies Treat, of course) so as I poured her a bowl I said, "You know, this cereal talks." Her eyes got really big and she put her head down by the bowl. She looked up at me and said, "Are you fibbing?" It was fun watching that moment as her mom. It's just one of those foods that brings back memories.
