My 5 year old daughter still confuses words breakfast, lunch and dinner. She says - "завтрак" (breakfast) like the word "завтра"(tomorrow), then "eat tomorrow"? but I want to eat today ("сегодня" segodnja), so - "sevodnik"?
And she is right. In ancient Russia breakfasts (usually it was a kasha or something similar) prepared in advance, from the evening of the last day.

Funnily, it turns out that in English word "breakfast" means a "stop fasting, starvation"
