Avoid personal pronous like you and I for the first few minutes. omit the part about your sister and asking her if she has the same problem. the elderly openers are focused intently on the prop and nothing else. its like the girl isn't even there.
and the line about cap'n crunch is toooooo funny. love it. but you are right. she has nothing to say from there. maybe start by asking about cereal first and then once you are intently focused on talking about cereal, drop your joke in there with a deadpan monotone (think Steven Wright).
sound like you are on the right track.
Feel free to the use the cereal line if something works for me I want to share it. Deadpan style is actually my strong point.
