As for boys, who understands them? We could say they have a penchant for balls or like to keep busy. They bring new meaning to play with your food, I guess. Cathy,

At the time, that is what all modern mothers served their kids. People just weren't in to fiber, whole grains, and glycemic indexes back then. Everything was about convenience, even then. Wonder Bread lasted a long time without getting stale (less trips to the grocery), made perfect sandwiches, and picky kids would eat it. As a young Girl Scout on campouts, we would put canned pie filling or pizza sauce and cheese sandwiched between two slices of buttered Wonder Bread in a cast-iron mold with handles and cook it in the coals of a fire. What fun! My brothers, for some reason, liked to take off the crusts and roll the soft white centers into a ball. Why????
