Out of the Box
There are a lot more important things going on in my life right now that I could report on, but I'd like to take this time to tell the world about one of the coolest things ever to come out of a cereal box.
I, like everyone else, am always happy to get a free prize in my breakfast cereal. Sometimes, I decide I really like a particular collectible item, and have been known to buy extra cereal just to get the prize. On my mission, it was the "Corcunda de Notre Dame" figurines in my Sucrilhos, and more recently it was Wobblers.
This time it's my new Shrek Knight Light. It came in a box of Corn Pops, and unlike the figurines or Wobblers, it has to be the most practical of any toy ever to be packaged for breakfast. It's a dim little light with the silhouette of Puss in Boots that clips over your ear. This is the perfect tool for going to bed after one's wife is already in bed. I can change my clothes, brush my teeth, and successfully navigate the various piles of laundry Ellie throws all over the floor. I will treasure it forever. Or at least till it burns out.
