Angry Man
This morning before work I was making lunches for both Arianna and I. For her, a taco salad and for me, a couple of sandwiches. As I checked the refrigerator to see what kind of sandwich meat we had it reminded me of the times that I snuck into the warehouse at L & L and stole the meat out of your sandwiches.
I can remember you coming home after work and asking Mom what the deal was with the “lettuce-wiches?” She would say she was sure she put the meat in the sandwich and look in the frig to verify that we actually had lunch meat.
The conversation would go on and on about how the guys at work were laughing at your sandwich and Mom would be so distraught. And of course I was sitting at the table trying not to smile.
I think this happened 3 or 4 times before I finally confessed my involvement in the lost sandwich meat. I definitely was laughing hard imagining how you felt when you bit into a sandwich with just lettuce and Miracle Whip. I know how unsatisfied and angry I would have been.
Years later I actually did that to Eugene a couple of times when he worked at Kipp. He was bummed at first, but I actually rode my bike down to the factory when I knew he would be on break and brought a new sandwich. L & L Foods was a little too far for me to do that.
Hopefully you’re not scarred and Mom is including meat in all your sandwiches these days, but if not… you can call me. I guess I sort of owe you so I could run some sandwich meat over.
