epitome of incomprehensibility

What, no oval tea?? They say I tell the same stories over and over, but I haven't told blather red this even once. At times, when I was a kid, I'd get Ovaltine before bed, a drink with non-caffeine-containing grains and a bit of sweetened cocoa. Mom promised it would help me sleep. The placebo effect was effective, it seemed, but my young ears misconstrued the brand name as "oval tea." I remember pondering the name while looking at the milky-brown swirl. WHY was it oval tea? The rim of my child-sized mug hadn't collapsed into an ellipse. It was still a near-perfect circle. Maybe there was something inside the tea that made it oval, somehow. The overthinker starts her overthinking early. But I knew I liked it better than camel_mild tea, anyway. Camel mild was TOO mild.
