Chapter 20: People who pour milk before cereal

Yo, this isn't my vid but it is ridiculously funny to me. I spent a long time rewinding the video and copying all the words down to the best of my ability.

Just to set the scene. Travis and Connor are at breakfast. It's still really early and Travis wakes up earlier than his brother so he got there first. There weren't much people there that early. Connor walks in to see his brother making cereal.

"Did you just pour the milk in first?" Connor asked and Travis turned to his brother with a confused expression on his face.

"Yeah? What's wrong? Is it- is it expired?" He asked lifting the bottle to his face to get a better look at the expiration date labeled on it.

"NOBODY pours the milk in first. It's-it's-it's weird." He shuddered and Travis just gave him a look.

"Um," Travis raised his hand, "I pour the milk first."

"And it's freaking weird!" Connor complained.

"Why are you so offended?" Travis honestly didn't understand what was so weird about pouring the milk into the bowl first.

"Because! Like- cereal killers pour the milk first!" Connor explained with a straight face.

"Oh so-so imma kill somebody for no reason! Because I poured the milk first?" Travis asked not really understanding what was going in but was going with it.

"I don't know," he shrugged his shoulders and conjured some water in front of him, "Maybe."

"Why does it even matter to you?"

"Why do you even do it that way?"

"So the cereal doesn't get soggy as fast." Travis rolled his eyes and said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Like monsters come after us because we're demigods.

"...What."

"It makes sense." He said slightly defensive on his slight dismissal.

"No it doesn't." Connor shook his head and took a swig from his cup.

"Listen, if you pour the cereal in first and then pour the milk in after then all the cereal gets saturated by the milk-" Travis started to explain his reasoning actually proud of himself before Connor interrupted him.

"All of the cereal gets saturated and submerged in the milk anyways." Connor explained annoyed.

"Not if you pour the milk in first-" he tried to counter his train of thought.

"YES IT DOES!" He screamed in frustration like he usually did when a prank went wrong and they got caught in the crossfire or just plain old caught.

"Wait! Let me finish bro, come on, dang." Connor shook his head but let his brother finish anyways.

"Go-go ahead." He waved his hand in his brother's direction.

Travis nodded before he started again. "Because of the surface tension, the bottom layer of the cereal will act as a flotation device-"

Connor started shaking his head the moment his brother had mentioned surface tension. "What are you even saying!-"

"Shut up! Let me finish man!"

"That's STUPID!" He shouted out the last part because it really was to him.

He turned to look at an offended Travis. "You're stupid!"

"This," Connor pointed at the two of the them and Travis's cereal bowl, "whole argument is stupid."
