PEANUT BUTTER

I wax nostalgic around holidays, and Mother’s Day made me think of pimento loaf.  When I was around 7, my father & I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas.  My Mom wasn’t around (that’s a long story for another time), and my Dad made all my lunches.  In his mind, pimento loaf was an appropriate lunch meat for a 7 year old.  At night, I would sneak to the bedroom door and whisper “peanut butter & jelly” while he prepared to make my lunch–subliminal influence.  I quit getting pimento loaf, and at least 3 days a week, I got Goober Grape®.  My Dad never mentioned it.  This next Call also conjures images of childhood for me.  Maybe my childhood wasn’t the standard.  Hmmm…
