My tuna sandwich was often flatter than a pancake by the time I got to it. I feel guilty when I think of the stuffI didn't eat and threw away knowing it was probably hard for my parents to buy it the first place.

I got to take one in my lunch and I still had my Mom's note. So I for one day, was on top of the world. Or at least on top of the lunch room roof. Until I licked that metal lid and cut my tongue wide open. And yes, it was totally worth it! <BR/>Thanks for the flashbacks Bill.<BR/>Lois LaneLois Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948217674898022349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-1128642878000118062005-10-06T19:54:00.000-04:002005-10-06T19:54:00.000-04:00I have tears in my eyes.
