Then momma gave us both baby bottles filled with juice and let us finish them before she fed each of us a jar of mixed cereal. The cereal wasn’t too bad, in fact I sort of liked it.
If it hadn’t been ground into a purée, I think I could really get to enjoy the stuff. The jar that followed it was truly vile, the label on the jar said it was bacon and eggs but it smelled like the eggs had been overcooked, they had a slight hydrogen sulfide reek that bespoke poor preparation. I’d have to be out of my mind to like that stuff! When we finished momma dressed us in T-shirts and put us in her car to go to our apartment with her. It would be the last time I would ever see Gino’s and my love nest.
