Expectations
At a very young age, I remember going with my siblings and some of my cousins to the city park to play. One such time, when we were going to be staying for a while, my aunt packed us a lunch. When she asked what kind of sandwich I wanted, I replied with one of my most favorite concoctions: peanut butter and honey.
We went to the park, romped around and got really tired, and then it was time for lunch. I was really excited to take a huge bite of that peanut butter and honey sandwich! When I took the first bite and began to chew, though, I was in for one of the rudest surprises of my life… there were CHUNKS of something in my sandwich! I had clearly asked for a peanut butter and honey sandwich, not a peanut butter, honey, and rocks sandwich.
My tender young palate was not ready for my first experience with chunky peanut butter, and if I remember right, I don’t think I even took a second bite of the sandwich.
