Three amazing things

I just woke up about 15 minutes ago. That would be nothing special, except I have two kids under six in the house. I've been staying up pretty late recently, so when they woke up at their usual 7:15 a.m. today, I asked if they could let me rest in bed for awhile.
First amazing thing: they did*. Second amazing thing: for almost three hours. Third amazing thing: they made their own breakfast.
What do a three-year-old and five-year-old get themselves for breakfast while daddy's sleeping?
Corn Pops cereal. With chocolate milk, of course.
* Note that "letting daddy rest" also includes climbing over him for about 20 minutes while giggling. Your mileage may vary.
