Almost Ready
A hole in the bread? Stan’s mom suggested an air pocket in the dough. Silly idea, he thought.
He decided it was proof of the Federation’s secret testing of their newest generation of phasers. Stan imagined himself on an alien planet, always ready for action, his aim deadly and accurate.
He spread peanut butter on the bread, then tossed it up. He took aim, firing his imaginary phaser, once again saving Earth from destruction.
Stan’s mom called out, “Almost time to go. Ready?”
He looked at the bread that had landed on the floor, peanut-butter side down.
“Almost,” Stan answered.

Giggling at that one. Great story!
Cute. Randy
Oh, Stan! Don’t eat it when it’s been on the floor.
Too late; half the slice is in his mouth. I expect the phaser blast will have killed the germs!
This is wonderful. Put me in mind of “Calvin and Hobbes,” my greatly missed favorite comic strip.
Love Calvin and Hobbes!
Could just see this playing out. A lovely breakfast image.
Love this – and why does bread always land sticky side down?

I didn’t catch the narrator’s youth until about half way through, but found it totally charming by the end.
This was a very realistic portrayal of a morning with young boy. Loved that the bread landed peanut butter side down. Doesn’t always.
