Maybe not so much an LOL as a scene from a documentary about parenting.

The snack cartoon reminds me of a joke I heard on the interwebs, “Don’t you hate it when you go to the kitchen to find something to eat and all you can find is ingredients?”
A peanut butter sandwich would work well also – 2 slices of bread (or one for a half sandwich), peanut butter, plate and knife. (Yeah I know there are those who add jelly or honey, or even chocolate, but I am purist.)
Even easier is a slice or two of American cheese on the same 2 slices of bread – if allowed to cook can even be toasted in a toaster oven or or a real oven.
As a child – after trying some of the school lunches I started only bringing my lunch (even then I was a picky eater) which would continue until high school when I started skipping lunch to take an extra class. Mom would send me half a peanut butter sandwich, if she put anything other than peanut butter in the sandwich it would come home with me or half would if she made me a full sandwich. As I got older and was in maybe 3rd or 4th grade she decided one day that I must be hungry with half a sandwich (fat kid, idea should have been to give me less food not more) and sent a full sandwich – I brought half of it home.
In one of our conversations in December last year or very early January (this year) mom brought up the subject of making me peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. “You wouldn’t eat anything else for lunch.” I told her that when we eat lunch at home I still only have a peanut butter sandwich for lunch – but a whole sandwich these years. We had fun talking about that.
So, my last conversation with mom was about my school peanut butter lunches of over 60 years ago.

A chunk of cheese or a tortilla warmed in the wave can snack in a pinch.
