Iwas so worried about the new lunchbox that naant
thought about what was inside. i imagined what i might
say if the kids asked me about the characters on it. i didn't
know who any of them were! however, no one asked. they
were overcome by the unfamiliar smell of my lunch.
suddenly, i had lost my appetite for what was once my
favorite dish
