…or the alternative title “Maybe I’m not so grown-up yet.” Yeah. A kid’s cereal for my dinner. Maybe I’m a lost cause. Maybe I just don’t want the dishes of a proper meal. Maybe I kinda need to go shopping, too. Whatever the reason or excuse, my dinner was delicious. ---

My Grandma taught me that it’s ok to have cereal whenever you want, and she’s the best adult I know! ---

If I’d had Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I’d’ve eaten two bowls for dinner tonight! Life? Only one bowl. And a bowl of Cap’n Crunch for dessert. Delish! ---

Ohhhh. Life is one of the best cereals ever. Ever. I can eat three bowls in a row if allowed by my stomach. ---

I prefer Kelloggs Sugar Frosted Flakes, the kind endorsed by Tony the Tiger. Did you ever see Jethro Bodine of Beverly Hillbillies fame, eat cereal? ---

French Toast Crunch and S’mores are great too! ---

S’mores are great anytime! Although I admit I’ve never had cereal for dinner before. I’m boring, aren’t I? ☹ ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > S’mores are great anytime! > > Although I admit I’ve never had cereal for dinner before. I’m boring, aren’t I? ☹ I agree “real” S’mores are best! But the cereal is quite yummy. You should try it! ---

One of the greatest things about being an adult is the realization that you can have anything you want for dinner, even ice cream. I have been known to have about ten Ritz Crackers followed by a pint of Ben and Jerry’s for “dinner”. ---

**Trunk** , though you spared me from your list (and c’mon! I was the friggin’ OP), I’m going to stand up and properly denounce you as an old fuddyduddy. Yeah, you heard me. I’m that hardcore. Don’t make me come up to Ballmer to show you. ---

> [@Only Mostly Dead](#): > > **Trunk** , though you spared me from your list. . . Well, you seem to at least be open to the idea that you’re not fully grown up yet. That shows an incredible amount of self-awareness for someone who is known to eat cereal for dinner. ---

> [@slortar](#): > > Dude, you totally just called Tony the Tiger and Count Chocula losers. They are losers. My major concern with your original post was that you’re probably so surrounded by losers that you see your behavior as “not loser”. Now, you’ve removed all doubt. ---

I have occasionally had cereal for dinner but never could find a complimentary wine. ---
