It's a Peanut Butter Day

Peanut butter on toast is just such a perfect lunch alternative for anybody. You get your grain and your protein; then, you pour yourself a glass of milk and grab a clementine. It is so satisfying on a boring Wednesday at noon. The occupants of 47 Ashworth would all attest to this as well.

Ella with one hand on her hip looked at Anna, "No, I'm having bananas on mine; that's different." She turned back to the two slices of toast piled with pieces of a banana she had recently been singing into.

Anna shook her head as she brushed her toast crumbs off her plate into the garbage, "Nope. It's still peanut butter on toast. You've just added an extra ingredient." She placed her plate in the dishwasher, "Seriously, I think that peanut butter on toast is infectious. I saw Leah having peanut butter on toast and immediately I wanted it. Then, you saw me with mine and wanted it too."

Leah piped up from her study, "It's the infection of peanut butter!"

The girls chuckled at her proclamation. Leah came out of the study briskly and walked straight past the girls who had just seated themselves at the kitchen table, "Anna, can you do me a favour?"

"Sure." Anna opened her laptop to continue working on her essay.

"Will you tell me when five minutes is up? Starting now?" She took a deep breath and lowered herself to the floor. Ella and Anna exchanged amused looks as they waited to see what quirky "Leah-esque" thing was about to occur.

The two girls turned to see Miss Swan sprawl herself out across the rug in the living room. They laughed as Leah explained why she was laying down on the floor for exactly five minutes - no more, no less. She was sure that it would calm her and prepare her for the rest of her day."It just kind of restores equilibrium." Leah Swan stated in a matter of fact tone to Ella and Anna sitting at the kitchen table chowing down on their peanut butter on toast. She propped her head up on the hood of her brown sweater and took another deep breath.

Ella and Anna simply giggled and turned back to their peanut butter on toast while Leah restored her equilibrium.
