Sardine Sandwich Mishap

I reached for my lunch bag under the table, but my elbow bumped right into the paper sack and it tore open. Out rolled a wrapped sardine sandwich and a tiny carton of cottage cheese... sigh. Of course it had to be my dad's lunch that I grabbed by mistake instead of mac and cheese. While trying to scoop the carton back before it tipped, my knuckle hit a stray plastic fork and sent it skittering across the floorboards. Everything is always slightly falling apart this morning, but at least the little printed paper label on the sandwich wrapper has this charming retro checkerboard pattern on it.
