Whitney and I were having cereal for dinner the other night (don't you judge me), while Randy was mowing the lawn and Landon was at a friend's house, and she surprised me by choosing grape nuts. After a couple bites she said,
"They look like tasty goodness, but they're not.
They're tiny disasters!"
They're tiny disasters!"
This sent me into a fit of giggles, and inspired me to grab the camera and jot her words down before I forgot them. I love it when the kids are just sincerely hilarious. Good times.

Your kids are so funny.
I enjoy grape nuts, I love brinner in any way shape or form, so cereal works!
Tiny disasters...that has such a nice ring to it.
I am not a Grapenuts fan but definitely enjoy cereal for dinner, dessert, late night and game time snack... Fruit Loops or Apple Jacks are my favorite dry, Trix is my favorite with milk and when I need to be good, I reach for Honey Bunches of Oats.
LOVE Whitney's choice of words!
this is so funny!
we almost never eat cereal here. not even for breakfast, I don't know why? sometimes for a snack...or in no bake bars. I have lactose issues & my kids would rather go hungry or just eat toast.
I used to love grapenuts as a kid so I bought some a few years back-
I TOTAlly agree with Whitney- YUCK!
I still have New York posts to do-- but May is the busiest month of the year for me!!
This is sooo funny comming from Whitney. I have enjoyed them, but not all the time, ocassionally. I haven't had cereal for dinner in a long long time, although that sounds good today, after (our main dinner which we have at 2pm, we will probably have something more laxed by evening time). I like coco pebbles the ones from the fristones.... they are one of my favorites with chucky charms, as we call them.
Funny!
I don't care for Grape Nuts. But I do eat cereal occasionally for dinner. So no judging going on over here. :)
I rarely eat cold cereal, I don't know why. My kids aren't big cereal eaters, either. But I love Grape Nuts! Have to have a little sugar on it, though.
Your kids crack me up. Thanks, I needed a laugh today!
I have no idea what I would consider tiny disasters. But I would like to switch my current disasters for tiny ones, please.
Grape Nuts are nasty...maybe mixed with yogurt but Nasty-tiny disasters!
We like breakfast for dinner but it is usually pancakes or something like that. I don't judge however!
grape nuts and celery are both foods that never end, no matter how long you chew.
I am with Whitney...yeech. Not my favorite. Doesn't everyone do cereal for dinner once in awhile? My kids think it is some kind of wonderful when we do.
I loathe grapenuts plain...but on top of icecream, they add a zippy crunch!
I really enjoy these funny things that kids come up with...Your kids seem to have some extra funniness built in...I'm pretty sure I know who they get that from! :)
Cereal for dinner sounds like a perfect meal to me!
I'm with Whitney. They look okay to eat and then when you eat them YUCK!
I'm not a Grapenuts fan, myself. I do, however, have cereal for dinner (and snacks) quite often so our house is always stocked with a wide variety. My favorite, as of late, is Quaker Oatmeal Squares with Cinnamon. The kids are really into Trix. Well, I am too but not as a meal. I find that kids' cereals are more suited for quelling the late night sweet snack fix.
this cracked me up- and convinced me i need to spend time with your kids. we'd get along. :) and they could teach k their trade.
i've had cereal for dinner. heck, i eat it straight out of a box when i've got it here. you don't even wanna know our dinner habits of late... :)
The girl is hilarious!
The kids and I enjoy cereal for dinner - raisin bran, Life, you name it. . .
Kim refuses to do cereal for dinner. Strange how I think of it as a treat (no cooking, something sweet, simple, and satisfying to eat) and she acts as if it is punishment. So on occasion we have cereal for dinner is Kim is working late and planning to eat in her car on her way home or something.
This is hilarious! I am a huge proponent of cereal for dinner--delicious. When I was little, though, my mom told me to not put too many Grape Nuts into the bowl, because the milk will make them grow (meaning expand). I misinterpreted that and thought that if I had too many that it would make me grow too big. Since then, I've never been such a huge fan of Grape Nuts.
She's right--grape nuts are terrible! This post was timely as I am trying to decide whether a bowl of cookie dough and some mac n cheese makes an acceptable dinner. I think it does.
I like grapenuts eaten very quickly and with lots of sugar.
I was just thinking the same thing Shannon was....your kids have a bit of their mom's wit in them for sure!!
Whitney's words are a light to the end of the day,and I for one, love grapenuts. Having said this, I don't know why I don't have them often at all! Good fiber, low points with 1% milk.
Thanks for sharing!! I love funny words from cute kids!
I am so glad I'm not the only one who does cereal for dinner sometimes! I try to make it sound exciting, like we're so rebellious eating CEREAL for DINNER, but I'm pretty sure my kids see right through that!
That is so funny! She talks like you here on your blog. I love it!
I only like Grape Nuts in yogurt. I completely agree about them in a bowl of milk.
Michelle's comment made me snort-laugh. You gotta love a girl who can handle a flood with humor!
Whitney is plain witty. I wish she & Isabelle were pals; they'd hit it off.
We've had cereal for dinner every other day lately, due baseball hecticness.
I consider cereal a meal, so no judgment here. Grape nuts are okay, but they kinda hurt my teeth. I like the suggestion of sprinkling them on ice cream!
We love cereal for dinner (no judgment here!) and Whitney cracks me up! Seriously, you have the funniest kids ever :)
Love the photo too!
Too funny!
My favorite thing to do with Grape-Nuts...mix them in my favorite yogurt then spread them in a pan (kinda like cake batter), then freeze them.
Nice healthy snack. But eating just plain grape-nuts..I really have to be in the mood.
That is great! I LOVE grape nuts, but have to let them sit in the milk for about 10 minutes before I eat them. I like them a little soft. mmmm that sounds good right now.
and there is no judgement about cereal for dinner. My kids get that about once a week (or more)....the same nights that Brandon eats a PB&J... it's nice when they are low maintenance.
It is great that you wrote her comment down. I always struggle to remember what people said. Funny photo. Yes, I like Grape-Nuts especially with vanilla or flavored yogurt!
grape nuts are grosss unless covered in yougurt.
How funny...I was just going to type that I have to have yogurt on grapenuts too - or else I can't eat them. {I don't like milk}
My kids would LOVE IT if we had cereal for dinner. Cereal is just so dang expensive {not sure if that's everywhere or just here - we're talking $4-$5 dollars a box} that I really try to enforce a breakfast only rule.
But I do remember eating cereal for dinner in college many times!
Whitney is hilarious! Tiny disasters. Aren't you so dang glad you can remember this always because of your blog?
