My latest project: make a fake cereal. I made Mushloops which was just an elaborate gag about parasitic mushrooms propagating through cereal.
My beloved, apropos of nothing, just announced, “You should have named your fake cereal Fun*ga*loops.”
I paused in confusion. “Do you mean… the- the cereal I made for class three years ago?”
“Yeah. Fun*ga*loops. I think about it sometimes.”
“…why?”
“When I eat my little mushrooms for breakfast, I think about it. I think kids would like saying it more that MuShLoOps.”
When I wrote this post they insisted on making sure I spelled it right. I handed over my phone and then gaped at what they handed back. “It’s got stars. Kids love stars!”
