Why not just rat cereal dry?
Love me some rat cereal
Shit stupid autocorrect supposed to be eat cereal dry

I need the cereal wet. I don't like dry cereal, it is too hard on my mouth and gums up my mouth.
I put the cream/milk in before I pour the coffee though. This guarantees there is always room for the right amount of milk and it mixes automatically without needing a stirrer.

I do this and my friends think I'm batshit crazy
Get. Out.
