Are You All Oatmeal?

After I got married, I started having Mondays. So I got bacon for breakfast.
But then I started having Tuesdays too. So I got another breakfastfood: Eggs.
After a while, a Wednesday showed up, and I had to take waffles for that!
For each day, I had a different breakfastfood.
But then I switched, and now I’m all oatmeal. It’s my every breakfastfood!
Are you all oatmeal?
(Among OTC breakfastfoods. Use as directed.)

Those commercials are really starting to get on my nerves.
But I AM all oatmeal.
What’s it to you?
Wait, that’s a lie.
I’m all oatmeal, except when there are donuts in the house.
Um…we’ve never bought bacon, sillyface. Or waffles. You’ve always been all oatmeal. But I’m sorry if that’s a bad thing. Maybe you should start taking more than Advil for your aches and pains? Have you considered a different pain reliever for headaches than for muscle soreness?
I’m all granola. Home-made. With coconut. Except at breakfast buffets. Then I’m all all.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I’ll join in…
I’m a big bowl of Captain Crunch.
Hi Dr. Chase!
*waves*
My mother grew up on the farm: eggs, bacon, grits for breakfast. As a married girl and when I was old enough to remember anything, she fed my dad and my one brother and two sisters oatmeal and toast every morning all our growing up years. I guess she realized the health benefits, way back there in the 50s, of oatmeal. In my US Air Force Daze, I ate eggs, bacon, toast and jelly and grits through boot camp and training school. Then donuts and coffee off and on for the last 3 years of service. I don’t remember much about breakfast in the 70s or too much else except for meeting your mother. We probably resorted to oatmeal off and on during your growing up years. Breakfast during my last 18 years of copier repair work was largely donuts and coffee. In retirement now, I have returned to oatmeal -unless, like Scott says - there are donuts in the house. And a “Hello to Dr. Chase!” as well.
