Mason Knows the Score

Mason: I’m still hungry.
Me: You want one of those frozen PB&J sandwiches?
Mason: Mommy said those are only for school lunches.
Me: Yeah, well right now she’s not here and I’m in charge.
Mason: But what happens when she comes home?

  5. Nothing happens when she comes home unless she’s one of those moms who counts the sammiches. “Hey! There are only 15 PB&J sandwiches left! There should be 18! Who ate the 3 sandwiches at home instead of at school?”

    My mom was like that: we could never grab a snack from the refrigerator – she’d find out about it right away.

  6. OK, so I’m just home and have completed the inventory. Although the correct number of PB&J sandwiches are in the box, the expiration date on the box is different than the one I left. But you wouldn’t have um, bought a new box, and eaten that one down to the correct number, right???

  7. Wouldn’t it have been smarter just to buy a new box and eat the sammiches in that box? That way the original box would be untouched. Am I being too logical here? Or is it just my many years of experience learning how to circumvent my mom?

  8. OK, this situation reminds me of one of my favorite TMBG songs. The lyrics go like this:

    There were 87 PB&J’s in the freezer
    now there’s 30 left.
    The kids ate 47 at school
    so what happened to the other ten?
    Why do you suspiciously change the topic
    as I empty out the freezer and count them all over again?

    OK, I’ve had my say in this. I won’t bother this thread any more. :D
