Breakfast

My family went through different breakfast phases: the year of the cereal, the year of the hot foods, the year of the granola, the year of the fruit drinks. During my cereal days, I’d eat Corn Flakes, Chex, Rice Crispies, Wheaties, Raisin Bran. Usually two bowls, or at least not one. Dad would read from the Book of Mormon while I read the backs of boxes. Around my bowl I’d build a small fort to hide behind as I ate. Bigger, taller boxes were most desirable, but smaller ones would do. The worst were the milk cartons—they’re not even square—hardly wall-like. I’d recommend using the cereal boxes that aren’t as popular. If two walls are up and you’re choosing between Life cereal and Raisin Bran for the third wall, go with Raisin Bran. This way you are less likely of being asked to pass your wall mid-read. Also, check to see if the asker really needs the box of cereal or if they are just trying to build a fort of their own, because breakfast forts are definitely in these days.
