Happy Mel Whoever invented the Cheerio was a genius.

Sven Cheerios really are a work of art, aren’t they?

Dan Does anyone not like Cheerios?

Happy Mel Why aren’t there world religions devoted to this stuff?

Happy Sven All right, perhaps we grow a bit too loving toward our breakfast.

Happy Dan Pish tosh, my good man!

Happy Mel Pish tosh?

Happy Dan Pish tosh!

Sven Uhm, sure. And hey, Melina, thank you for having us over for breakfast.

Happy Mel No problem! I mean I know you guys probably thought there would be more than just bowls of cereal and some coffee, and there was going to be! But…

Dan But?

Mel I broke my frying pan. So no eggs or bacon.

Sven How did you break a frying pan?

Happy Mel Spider.

Happy Sven What?!

Happy Dan Oh no, you didn’t!

Angry Mel It was a very big spider! And I had a frying pan in my hand! I can not be blamed for this!

Happy Dan Yeah you can. So you hit the spider with the frying pan and the pan broke?

Happy Sven Good lord! That must be a robotic spider from the future. Wait, is it still here? Should we run?

Angry Mel It was huge! And no, I hit it with the frying pan and smooshed it good.

Dan So the frying pan?

Mel The spider was on the wall.

Dan Oh man.

Sven Is the wall intact?

Happy Mel Mostly!

Dan I’ll bring over some plaster, we can fix it later this week.

Mel Let me know when you’re gonna go grab some, I’ll come buy a new frying pan.

Happy Sven I am still unclear on part of this.

Mel What?

Sven The frying pan. How did it break?

Mel The wall.

Sven No, I mean did it crack in half, or did the handle shatter? It was a wall, but unless you’re also secretly the Hulk…

Happy Dan Well I know I don’t like her when she’s angry.

Angry Mel Hey!

Happy Dan See!

Sven Still, the force needed to crack a frying pan against a wall…

Mel It was an old frying pan.

Happy Sven I don’t think that counts. Unless it was wooden. Was an old, wooden, frying pan?

Happy Mel No, it was metal!

Happy Dan Huh.

Happy Sven Yes. How did it break, then?

Happy Dan Metal spider?

Mel Ew, no! And the spider is dead.

Happy Sven Can I have the frying pan? I totally want to see where the stresses were and how it broke and…

Happy Mel Yes, Sven, you can go nerd out about a broken frying pan.

Dan All right, too much talking. Soggy Cheerio alert!

Angry Mel Ack!

Sven Right! We must consume now, investigate later!

Mel Totally.

Sven Hulk.

Angry Mel Am not!

Sven Are too.

Happy Dan Soggy Cheerios, people! Focus!
