Alex's little problem with lunch
Well the first week of school has come and gone, and boy what a week it was.
I do not have the emotional strength to even comment on Katrina, I’m not being callous or insensitive, just overwhelmed by the magnitude of this disaster that I cannot even “go there” right now.
But I will tell you about Alex’s first day of school.
Willy made the boys and me lunch all week, what a sweetheart!
We’re still driving the little car since my van is still in the shop, so Willy and I are in the car with Alex. I was taking them home so I could get back to work.
I asked Alex about his day. I asked him about his lunch and if everything went well, he was supposed to buy milk to drink with his sandwich.
He said “Yeah, everything went ok, except I did have a small problem”
So I ask “What was the problem babe?”
Alex says “Well, I was still hungry after lunch”
“Why? Didn’t dad pack you a full lunch?” I asked
“Yeah, but my sandwich got all smashed and it was really little, so small that I was still hungry after I ate it”
I told him that even though his sandwich was smashed, it was the same amount of food as if he had a “non smashed” sandwich. He wasn’t buying it though. He just didn’t eat enough because his sandwich was soooooo small!
That was Alex’s first day of school!

My poor little Alex! Shame on you for not knowing that when a sandwich is smashed, it is indeed smaller than when it started! Sheesh!
That's the cutest thing I've heard! Ha...maybe if I smash up See's Candies or ice cream, I could use that excuse. :-)
