Sandwichgate

Hi Everyone,

Recently I’ve been trying to think of some of the funny things my children have done over time…

One that sticks out for me happened when Josh was 10 years old.

For years he had been taking sandwiches to school and eating all of them; then over the period of a week he decided that he didn’t want to eat all of his sandwiches, he would take a bite out of each side and then leave the rest in his lunch box.

When we questioned him about it, he said that he didn’t eat his entire sandwich because his friends don’t and he wanted as much time as possible playing football. This of course is not good enough!

Eventually we got to Thursday evening and this issue was still going on, so we told him that if he doesn’t eat his entire sandwich, he will be in big trouble!

Friday came and when my Wife looked into his lunch box she saw that he had eaten his entire sandwich, as such we rewarded him by letting him stay up late and watch a film of his choosing!!

A couple of days later I was in Josh’s room helping to clean it when I had to call Louise in. When she came in I asked her “why is this here?” and showed her bits of a sandwich that were hidden on Josh’s windowsill.

Louise then asked Josh about it, who for about 20 minutes denied all knowledge of putting the sandwich on his windowsill and at one point he had even managed to convince Louise that I had put it there!!

It turned out that Josh’s home coming on Saturday coincided with a mail delivery and Josh quickly ran up the stairs, put the sandwich on his windowsill with the intention of throwing it away later……………..but forgot about it!!

Thanks

Darren
