Yesterday, I was making sandwiches. I was trying to apply mayonnaise, and as I lifted some from the jar on my knife blade, a dollop fell off onto the sandwich I had already prepared. So then I had to try to scrape the extra mayonnaise off that sandwich.

Then, as I was trying to put some on another slice of bread, I dropped the bread and splatted a big ole pile on the floor. UGH! Had to clean that up.

So today I was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was extracting the knife with a big dollop of peanut butter, when I dropped the knife. I managed to catch it, but ended up with peanut butter all over both hands and the handle of the knife. ARG!

I need to go back to remedial sandwich class.

I was going to suggest that the real problem was mayonnaise, but I see you recovered from that issue and tries a reasonable sandwich.

Maybe change things up with a spoon. 🙂

Klutz is spelled with a K.

Both your eye-hand coordination and your Yiddish need a little work. 😛
