Cereal Killer
I often wonder if I am the only person who has this problem, as I have never seen it on TV. I pour cereal into a bowl. What kind of cereal? It depends, but it can run the gamut from granola to some kind of fiber flakes to wheat squares, and often a mixture of all of them. Then I get a container of milk out of the refrigerator. I open the container of milk, and tilt it to pour it over the cereal. Mind you, I am careful when I do this, because I know what a disaster it could turn out to be if I behave recklessly. So I tilt the container gradually, and the milk pours out.
More often than I care to remember, the milk hits the cereal and goes splashing out in every direction, winding up all over the counter or table, and onto any nearby appliances, newspapers or cats.
Depending on whether I am alone or there are other family members present, I will let out either muffled curses or earsplitting cries of profanity. Not sure which situation leads to which reaction.
If anyone else has had this happen to them, I would like to know about it., since I am convinced I am cursed. And it is but one of a long series of small occurrences that have me increasingly on edge. I will discuss those in future entries. If I am still able.

I know this problem well. The trick is to pour close to the cereal rather than from up above OR make a well in it and aim for that.

Story of my life. It's called being a klutz.
