Morning Coffee

Writing exercise on the theme, "what does a morning taste like?"

It is good to have breakfast. Good for your health, I mean. Your body slowly digests the slow sugars and slowly processes it into energy. So you won't be slow when it comes to important things, like work. There's even been an EU campaign on that, on how good it is to have breakfast. Breakfast is important.

And yet Marc never has breakfast, even though he works with the EU and sometimes even does important things. It doesn't matter to him whether he's a bit slow in the morning. Everyday, I say I'd like him to get breakfast, and he always says no, I'm not hungry, or I'm not into the habit of eating in the morning. Everyday I tell him about this slow energy release process and he laufhs, because he says he's making coffee so he's ok.

But I'm not ok. He's got a terrible morning breath. So I ask him to at least brush his teeth and he says there's no need, he hasn't eaten anything, and after that he drinks his coffee and his breath smells even worse. Then he says he' late an kisses me goodbye, and in the end all I am left with is the taste of his bad breath and morning coffee. People really should eat breakfast... Breakfast is important.
