Daddy Chex

My wife texted me this morning to celebrate solving a household mystery. My youngest son, Blake, is at that age where he knows a lot of words, and knows what he wants, but he can’t fully articulate this sometimes. Of course, we all get frustrated when we are being misunderstood. This has led to some tense breakfasts as he has been asking for Daddy Chex for the past few days. As I am out of the house for work well before they are eating breakfast, this has left my wife and I confused as to just what this mysterious cereal could be.

So this morning, my wife sent me the image above after discovering what Blake deemed Daddy Chex. Blake was happily munching on his breakfast while she sent this my way. My wife and I learned what he meant, remembered how frustrating it is to not be understood, and that I bear a striking resemblance to the cartoon guy on the Rice Chex box. Go figure.
