A WONDERFUL TOMATO SANDWICH

There are many forms of cruel and unusual punishment in this world, and one of them is having to eat a sandwich left in a plastic bag in a kindergarten classroom until noon. There I sit, in my favorite faded blue jean shorts and white T-shirt, staring at my soggy, sorry excuse for a sandwich. Steam from the amalgamation of white bread and humidity fills the inside of the plastic bag. One by one, the snaps from the seal of the bag give way under the force of my fingertips. The smells of hot yellow mustard and moist bread with just a hint of hammy-ness fill my nostrils. Reluctantly, I eat my not-so-wonderful sandwich, while sadly staring at the bags of potato chips and chocolate chip cookies littering the cafeteria table. Oh, how I long for Lunchables!

By the time I get home, I am ravenous. Running off the bus and onto the lawn, I throw my backpack into the yard and give a good tug on the screen door of our house. I am in the fridge by the time I hear the screen door shut. BANG! I meticulously lay out the cast of characters on the speckled Formica countertop: Wonder bread, mayonnaise, and thick slices of juicy, ruby tomatoes. The butter knife leaves little rake impressions as I spread the heavenly mayonnaise across the supple white bread. Two generous slices of succulent tomatoes crown the bread, slightly overlapping at the edges. Taking one bite of the creamy tomato sandwich magically erases the lunchtime horror from earlier in the day. Life is good.
