Paige: What'd you make me for lunch? Andy: Peanut butter and jelly. Paige: Again?! Mother, I am so sick of peanut butter and jelly it isn't even funny! If I have to eat it one more time I'm going to cough up blood and die! I'm serious! Andy: You could always make your own lunches. Paige: PB&J's fine. Andy: I thought as much.

Be grateful it wasn’t a plantain, beet and jícama sandwich, Paige.

In high school I would only eat PB&J for lunch every day. My mom got tired of making it, but I never got tired of eating it. One morning she said, “Here, you make it.” And I did until I graduated high school.

Nowadays you can’t bring PB&J to most schools, due to “peanut allergy”. At my daughters’ school, if you bring one, you have to sit at a special table. I get the girls various lunch meats, including ham and bologna, for variety. However, when I was in school, it was ham & cheese every day…and I made ’em.

It cost only $0.35 for lunch at our high school cafeteria. I had no complaints with it. Some people did and I’ll guess they came from households which didn’t discourage complaining.

Eh. Our school lunch has usually some cutlets or patties or meat sauce or cooked fish, with potatoes, potato mash or rice as side, plus salad. One mother complained that they give children food that they can’t recognize, and also, that as school cafeteria opens only 8:40 so children can’t have breakfast before that, they should have a chocolate bar machine in lounge.
What the heck is this mother feeding her children, I have no idea… well, except for chocolate bars.

But is it real peanut butter and jelly or one of their mom’s attempts of being extra healthy by replacing it with vegetarian stuff.

We’ve had our kids make their lunches since later in Elementary school – I’m so glad we chose to do that. We just oversee now and then – to make sure they get some good stuff :). I think back to my mom making my lunches in high school and it just seems weird now.

Suddenly coughing up blood and dying doesn’t sound so bad.
