Soggy Rings of Victory

early Saturday morning I wake up to coffee brewing and cartoons blaring making my way into the kitchen I hear Looney Toons from the living room and the shower running I quietly enter the bathroom smiling and undressing to surprise you pulling back the shower curtain with the Technicolor duckies I find our son in full snorkeling gear desperately trying to sink an entire box of Cheerios embarrassed I grab my robe and head to the living room to find you laughing through your Cocoa Puffs at the hilarity ensuing on TV after a quick good morning kiss I lick the dribbled milk from your goatee and head to the kitchen for that much needed coffee before my first sip our son emerges from his adventure covered in soggy rings of victory
