Charlotte's Web


Usually on Saturday mornings we never have time to eat breakfast because we're always running late for church. However we had a little extra time last Saturday. My dad and I toasted our usually slices of bread, but my mom decided she wanted to have a bowl of cereal. She had just bought a new cereal called South Beach Diet. SO she opens the tightly sealed plastic bag and slowly tilts the box waiting for her whole grain crunch to tumble into her bowl.

She tilts... hmmm nothing. She tilts a little more.... man what is going on? Finally she tilts the box at an extreme degree, and a huge clump of cereal tries to roll its way out of the box, but is having difficulty. Why you ask? What is holding this cereal captive? Brace yourselves.... SPIDER WEBS!

Yes you heard me correctly. A huge mass of white spider webs has engulfed the contents of this cereal box. I see all of this happening before my eyes and I just want to scream! My mind goes straight to arachnophobia and I am ready to burn the house down and start from scratch. I'm so dramatic I just KNEW our house was infested. But then after I calmed my breathing I say wait a minute, this was a brand new box of cereal. Whatever made a home in this box, came straight from the packaging factory. I just had to walk away because that freaked me out even more.

Needless to say I was disgusted, and very hesitant to buy another box if ANY kind of cereal. But I did yesterday day, but you better believe before I poured anything into my bowl, I took the whole plastic bag out of the box, and did an EXTENSIVE examination of the contents. I ate one little frosted wheat square, and still couldn't bring myself to eat anymore. I don't know If I'll be able to eat cereal again.
