Myron thought that packing lunch was such a chore. Sometimes he would just stare at the refrigerator. He could never decide what he wanted. Some days, he wanted fruit. Some days, he wanted a sandwich. He had no idea what he wanted tomorrow. He looked in the refrigerator. There was peanut butter, jelly, and bread. There was salad and dressing. There were also meats, like ham and salami. There was cheese, too. All this food confused Myron even more. His favorite thing had always been peanut butter and jelly. It was his comfort food. Then, suddenly, Myron thought of something. Tomorrow, he had a math test. Myron hated math. Myron decided he would need something to make him happy after the test. Myron made himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
