what's for breakfast?

"You need to have SOMETHING to eat before you go to school! Especially since you don't eat anything at lunchtime!"

"Oh fine...I'll have one of those...American muffins!"

"American muffins?" I know what he wants cause he points, but my brain never works until sometime into the later morning hours! I laugh at him. "American muffin! HAHA!"

"Chinese muffin!" he says thinking to correct himself.

I struggle for a moment, forcing my brain to help him think of what these are called. I run through a few nationalities before remembering...

"ENGLISH MUFFINS!"

We both giggle and hail the English for such a brilliant invention!
ALL those buttery nooks and crannies! BRAVO!
