Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

by

Approximately 131 words

 

This is a true story Mom told me years before she died.

Mom was raised in southern Iowa on a farm and Mom’s sister was 5 years younger than she was. Mom and her sister and parents were doing something on the farm when her sister got hungry. She was old enough to go back to the house by herself, so her mother told her to go to the house to get something to eat. She made herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When she returned to where her parents were, her Mom asked how her lunch was and what she ate. She told them but she said the pepper in the jelly was a little hot. It was homemade jelly.

There was no pepper. It was little black ants she ate !!!
