This morning at 8:05 (the bus comes at 8:27) I got out all the sandwich makings and said “Sunbutter and honey, right?” and got a face.\u00a0 I tried again, “Ham?” and got another face.\u00a0 So I said, “All right, what do you want for lunch??”\u00a0 “Can I have a lunch without a sandwich?”\u00a0 “What do you mean, a lunch without a sandwich?”\u00a0 “Like you used to make, with lots of different things but no sandwich, remember?”\u00a0 Errr…it’s 8:09 AM, the bus comes in 18 minutes, and you want me to make a bento?!?\u00a0 After not wanting a bento lunch since last October…?\u00a0 Oh, sure, why not?<\/p>\n
