My 6 year old asked me if cereal is soup. I said no. My wife said yes. Now we're not talking and my kid thinks I'm an idiot. Pretty sure I lost that one. Anyone else have their entire marriage questioned by a kindergartener over breakfast foods?
Ha, the cereal soup debate is real in our house too. Your wife's got a point though, technically speaking, but I feel your pain on the loss here.
My kids tried this argument on me last month. I told them cereal is a breakfast food and soup is lunch/dinner. That's not how logic works but they dropped it and ate their Cheerios. Might be worth a try to end the Cold War at your house.
Technically your wife might be onto something if you're talking about the definition of soup as a liquid with solid ingredients in it. But good luck winning a semantics argument with a 6 year old as your judge. You're both gonna lose.
The fact that you're not talking because of cereal definitions is peak dad energy and I'm here for it. But seriously, your kid asking this question means they're thinking critically about categories and definitions. That's actually cool.
This is the kind of marriage-threatening debate that needs to be settled once and for all. For the record, your wife is wrong. Soup has broth. Cereal has milk. Case closed. You're welcome for saving your marriage.
Haha okay this is hilarious and I need to know who was right. Because technically soup is a liquid with solids in it, so... your wife might have a point here.
This is amazing. Six year olds have the best logic sometimes. You should ask him what makes something soup vs cereal - bet he has a full argument ready to go.

Dude, you're not an idiot. This is one of those battles where you just gotta laugh it off and maybe concede for peace. My wife and I have way stranger disagreements.
