Operation Sugar Cereal

Waking up in a giant house means breakfast is a logistical nightmare unless you know how to exploit low-hanging fruit. I crept onto the kitchen counter intending to snag just one frosted loop from an open box without doing any actual work. It sounded simple enough, but whoever designed these cardboard flaps clearly wanted small guys like me to suffer. I gave the inner wax paper a slight tug, and the entire cardboard tower started tilting toward a ceramic mug. I had to jam my back against the box to freeze it mid-fall. Now I'm stuck acting as a load-bearing column so I don't get blamed for a disaster.
