When I was little I demanded sugar on my cereal. My dad told me that someday I'd be eating my cereal without it and I thought that he meant it would one day become illegal to sprinkle table sugar on rice krispies. What he actually meant was that when I got older my tastes might change and I might actually like unsweetened cereal. I lived in fear of the day that I could be arrested for adding sugar to my cereal.
