On Friday Howard ate his breakfast of oatmeal and Ovaltine and toddled off to watch his morning fare of cartoons while Anita got ready for work. She made his lunch quickly, cutting the crusts from the slices of whole wheat bread and slapping mayonnaise on each slice before sandwiching a piece of bologna between them. By the time that lunch came, the mayonnaise would have been absorbed by the bread and wouldn’t make a mess when he ate it. Anita had stopped giving him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for his lunch when she was at work. On Monday Howard had reacquired the taste for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that he had lost at the age of ten.
