I have been there, and done that too, and this was a wonderful reminder of a time when silly things in cereal packets meant the world.

I remember the agony of waiting to be able to dig out a prize. Also, the great play on words from the prompt made me smile. I'd have never gone with grizzly bear from that. Well done! Well written.

She always won. I, too, thought the little boy would find something really scary. Loved that you found a sweetly creative way to fulfill the requirement of the prompt. And what a great little boy he is! Not spilling the cereal all over the counter. Brought back memories of my sister and I trying to be the first to reach the prize in the box of cereal.

And it's a charming story. [You know, if you open the cereal from the bottom you don't have to wait as long to find the prize. Not that I was ever that impatient....] I really like that you found a way out of the bloody body parts for this prompt. And it’s a charming story.
