Caught my 7 year old pouring milk before the cereal this morning. I said son that's not how we do things in this house. He looked me dead in the eye and said 'Dad you're the real cereal killer when you tell those jokes at breakfast.' Roasted by my own kid.
Milk first guy here too and my kids give me grief about it every time. It's a whole thing. Your response was definitely the way to handle it though.
Wait, milk first is objectively wrong and we all know it. Did you have to sit him down and explain the correct order of operations?
Ha that's perfect. My 7 year old does stuff like that and I have to decide whether to laugh or actually explain why the order matters. You chose comedy and honestly that's the right call.
This made me laugh out loud. That's the kind of thing that keeps me up at night - like am I supposed to correct this or just let him be creative with his breakfast choices?
That's hilarious. My 7 year old does this too and I finally just gave up. As long as he's eating something with protein and not living off pure sugar I'm counting it as a win.
Ha! The milk first thing is actually genius though. Less splashing, cereal lands softer. My 6 year old discovered this and now I can't convince him otherwise. At least he's thinking outside the box right?

The cereal killer strikes again! That's a quality dad moment right there. Your 7 year old is already thinking like a chaos agent.
