Wanna Trade?

I have been making homemade bread for the past few years.  I don't make it all the time, but as often as I can because I was amazed after seeing the list of ingredients on the average loaf of bread.  High Fructose Corn Syrup, etc.   At first Eric was mortified that I would pack his sandwich for school with homemade bread.  It was bad enough that he had to always have wheat bread, but now homemade wheat bread!   He was so embarrassed.  I felt a little sorry for him, but also a little unappreciated.  

Yesterday he came home from school and he said that his friend saw his sandwich.  He asked Eric what kind of bread was on his sandwich.  Eric responded that it was his mom's homemade bread. The friend said, "Wow, that looks good.  Do you want to trade?"  Eric quickly glanced at his friend's sandwich and saw white bread.  He asked what kind of meat he had.  The kid responded that he had bologna.  Eric quickly answered, "No."  

 I have never given my kids bologna. To be honest, I didn't even know it still existed.  What is bologna anyway?  

Hopefully now Eric will be a little more appreciative of my homemade bread.
