Ha! I had a smelly egg-salad sandwich in my lunch on the bus, and the bus
driver yelled loudly so everyone could hear, that someone's mother should
refrigerate the eggs overnight before making the salad. This was 6th or 7th
grade, and who needs further embarrassment in middle school!
I always attracted attention bringing in leftover Slovak food after Easter,
but everyone wanted to try the kolbasi, horseradish, and bread!
