Imitation: Diets, Houses, and Faith

There were 3 options for my preschoolers to choose from: Honey Bunches of Oats, Cocoa Pebbles, or Raisin Bran. I set all 3 on the table and asked each child which cereal they would like to eat for breakfast; all three chose 'Honey Boats.' After pouring their cereal and getting each kid situated, I poured myself a bowl of Raisin Bran and we all got to munching. When Isaiah (my oldest) finished his cereal first he asked if he could have more. Sure thing, which one do you want?  "That one" *pointing to the Raisin Bran* Surprised I pour him a bowl of Raisin Bran, surprised that he ate the entire bowl. As we were cleaning up our bowls from the table after breakfast I realized that the Cocoa Pebbles were not touched this morning, not even mentioned. Odd,  I thought, typically the chocolately-sugary cereals don't last a week at our house . And yet this is the same [big] bag of Cocoa Pebbles that we opened over a month ago. Why the sudden lack of interest? ******...
