Boy’s honest sandwich review after 1st day of kindergarten goes viral
“I normally give him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but he couldn’t bring peanut butter to school for kids’ allergies. So I had this idea, like I’ll give him a butter and jelly sandwich,” Weisberg, 42, told Good Morning America.
“So I grabbed a stick of butter out of the freezer and I made him a butter and jelly sandwich thinking I was like, ‘good mom’ — and sent him on his way.”
Once lunchtime came, Abe gave his mother creative sandwich a try.
“I took a bite of it and it tasted … I knew what butter tasted like and it didn’t taste like what butter tasted like,” Abe, now 9, said.
Weisberg first recorded the video back in 2018, says she still remembers what happened. “I left work early that day so I could capture this moment of him getting off the bus so I was just expecting him to be so happy and proud of himself that he got done with his first day of kindergarten,” she said. “I was quite surprised when he hit me with that savage sandwich review.”
Now this year, Weisberg decided to upload the video to TikTok during back-to-school time.
Weisberg says she “100% agreed with Abe’s review” of the butter and jelly sandwich.
“I was just so shocked that that was what he said. He had that look on his face like you seriously can’t help kind of laughing,” she said. “I laughed too, just like the rest of the world … I thought it was hysterical and I was very curious what was wrong with the sandwich.”
“It was a really terrible, terrible sandwich,” she added, “and I have never made him a butter and jelly sandwich again.”
