Pretty classic, right?

I would like to start off by saying I love Captain Crunch. Plain, peanut butter crunch, but not the berry kind. Although I love it so intensely, I rarely buy it or get to eat it. This causes food dreams. I will have vivid dreams of me buying Captain Crunch, taking it home, pouring it out and munching and crunching away. The saddest part is waking up and realizing that I don't actually have any Captain Crunch.

So this morning I walk into my parent's kitchen and start searching through the cereal. We have plain Chex, Raisin Bran, some weird granola kind, a little bit of Frosted Flakes and something that my brother is eating at the counter.

"I wish we had Captain Crunch. Our cereal is all so... healthy."

"You could have some of this stuff!" Josh offers, holding up a container of cereal that looks like sugar glazed cocoa puffs with multicolored marshmallows in it. Looks like that cocoa puff bird had too much fun with Lucky charms the night before...

"Um, no. That looks like sugar overload. Ew. Thanks anyway. But no, really, have you ever had a dream where you eat one of your favorite foods and you wake up and realize that you actually don't have any?" I opt for combining Raisin Bran with the remains of Frosted Flakes. (Note: Not a bad combination. I must remember this in the future..)

"I don't think so. I tend to have more of the dreams where food eats me."

"What?"

"You know, like the whole, "THIS IS FOR OUR BRETHREN!!" thing? It's usually cupcakes." He explains, making a violent stabbing motion with his arm.

"I can honestly say I have never experienced a dream like that..."

"Oh. Well, I thought it was something that everyone dreamed of at some point. That's pretty classic, right?"

"Attack of the cupcakes?"

One can only wonder what else Josh dreams of...
