Kindergartener Amber sat down at the cafeteria lunch table. Upon opening her lunch box, she told her teacher that something was wrong with her lunch. She gave a long explanation that her teacher deciphered. It seems Amber had her Dad’s lunch, who was a fifth-grade teacher at her school

Besides being a yucky liverwurst sandwich, there was a note from her mom meant for her dad.

Quite a performance last night. Happy first day back at teaching, Stud Muffin!

After swapping the lunches, Amber’s teacher smiled at Amber’s dad, Stud Muffin.

There was never a lunch mix-up again.

Here is a story by Miriam Connolly that I really enjoyed.

Thanks so much, Nancy Oglesby and her wonderful editors, for this great publication!,
