I have been married for 18 years now and it still bugs my husband that I overfill my cereal bowl. It doesn't matter that it took years of training to become this way, he just wants me to get a bigger bowl. See, we had a rule in my house growing up that you could only have 1 bowl of cereal in the morning for breakfast, so if you didn't want to go hungry you filled that bowl to the brim! It has just become a part of my psyche, I can't help it. Well, Nate is hardly ever around when I engage in this overfilling practice so it has gone unremarked about for quite some time now. On this particular day I was having my favorite dinner, cereal with chopped banana and it was witnessed. Now in my defense, the bowl wasn't technically overfilled until the banana entered the picture....and then of course the addition of the milk sealed the deal and there may have been a couple of o's that fell onto the counter. Well Nate couldn't handle it so he walked to the cupboard with the mixing bowls, grabbed one and proceeded to dump my bowl of cereal into it. Sheesh! BTW ruining the cemetery of the entire milk cereal banana configuration! Can't a girl eat an overfilled bowl of cereal without filling like some sort of pig eating from a trough? Apparently not! For the record I also have an annoying habit of overfilling my tortillas so that it busts open when I try to roll it and leaving glasses of water all over the house.
