How to eat a pb&j. By Jane

1. Pull the pieces of bread apart. Carefully lick all the jelly off of both pieces of bread.
2. Put a piece of bread on either side of you. Place each hand gently on top of the bread. Massage your fingers through the peanut butter. To really experience it to its fullest, close your eyes.
3. Carefully lick all the peanut butter off of your hands.
4. Delicately pick off tiny pieces of bread at random, and eat them with relish. Take time to savor every bite. Make sure that as you do this it causes the bread to slowly disintegrate into a crumbly, peanut buttery mess.
5. When you have maximum bread disintegration carefully wipe your hands on your shirt, and walk away.

Bon Apetit!
