Quote from Jacob

Jacob: Yeah, I want to sell cereal, but my tiger dad wants me to stay in the forest.
Gregory: Is he using a cereal mascot to describe racial discrimination?
Janine: Mm-hmm. That's what he's doing.
Gregory: Okay.
Jacob: I was born to help make a balanced breakfast. These stripes are feeling like prison bars!
