I never paid attention to the shapes until this morning, whereupon looking into my bowl I became greatly confused while trying to ascertain what the distorted marshmallow things were supposed to be.

"This is Noah's rainbow...
"This is the hat that Saint Patrick wore when he drove all the demon snakes out of Ireland...
"This, uh, this is a 'u'...
"And this is one of the magical red balloons that will make your life magical if you get 100 of them in one bowl!"
Mom: Nathan, that's impossible. Don't be silly.
