The day should begin like this. Every single day. Of course, it’s April, which, according to the cliche, brings showers, indicating gray skies. Still, such an April is rare here in our part of the South.

Breakfast each day should be leisurely enough to include play.

If it’s raisin bread on the menu, there should be plenty of time to load a truck with raisin bread and unload it.

Again, and again, and again.

Of course, the same goes for Cheerios, should that appear on the menu.

And there should be enough time after breakfast to play with trucks in the warm morning sun wearing your favorite shirt.
