A Pinch of Morning Oats

I marched straight across the kitchen counter holding my yellow bowl. Right by the toaster, I found a half-opened box of rolled oats resting against a ceramic mug. I leaned right in, carefully picked out three dry oat flakes with my fingertips, and dropped them into the center of my bowl. They made the neatest little clatter against the plastic! Now I have actual ingredients ready to combine for breakfast.
