Well, I was stuck at one of my Grandmother's house for a week. While I love my Grandma to death, and while she was a very good mother who stuck to her Son at the worst of times, the best way I can describe her is this.
Except, she smiles more. With a cigarette.
Anyways, I was stuck alone with for for a week, and about every other night she would go out with her friends. She only had three channels of TV, no computer, and a radio. Absolutely nothing to do.
The only thing that kept me entertained throughout this ordeal was half of a taped plastic sheath to a prop sword that comes with Halloween costumes, which I became attached to and used to make up worlds of my own. It literally was a tool that helped me direct the insanity from my boredom into endless entertainment. (I still have that plastic black Sheath 15 years later, and still constantly play with it.)
Anyways, I remember seeing an a cereal called Joe's O's, which were a shitty knock off or Cheerios. For some reason (I blame the boredom), it was the most insane thing to me that they had tried copying Cheerios.
