    Well, you ASKED for it, Elizabeth. Your mother gave you exactly what you deserved!

    But is she big enough to clean up the mess she’ll make doing it?

    Peanut butter and banana was always my favourite. I remember the day I learned to make my own sandwiches—sweet freedom.

    I was taught that, if you HAD to use a chair to stand on, put the back of the chair up against what you’re facing.

    The option to make one’s own lunch means the option to make a truly terrific lunch – go hog-wild, Elizabeth! Double desert, too!

    Mayo? No wonder she hates her mom’s cheese sandwiches. You’re supposed to use butter.

    That is probably all they can afford for lunch, that and beans for dinner. Elly just spent $589.76 on clothes for the kids.

    My little brother and I learned how to make PB&J sandwiches and we also learned to make toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar sprinkled on top for this very reason. But for us, it was for after-school snacks.

    My Mom was quite creative in stretching the family budget when making our school sandwiches.

    I could always tell, though, when money was getting a bit thin. We’d have cream cheese & olive sandwiches one day and cream cheese & pimento the next. ( She’d saved the pimentos the were stuffed in the olives ).

    Any sandwich would do. By lunchtime it had that marinated… wrapped in wax paper with a rubber band around it, stuffed into a rusted metal lunch box, sitting on the heat register in the cloak room all morning… taste. Perfect!

    Are all of these answers referring to elementary school? When I was in grade school we had to go home for lunch. This was in the 50s.
