Buttered Bread
While playing a game on his phone, Tom Thomas eats an open-faced sandwich. When Nolik reminds him that his mom said he shouldn’t eat while playing computer games, Tom Thomas gets flustered and drops the sandwich. It lands on the floor butter side down. Nolik is not surprised all, after all this is the “Law of Buttered Bread”. Tom Thomas doesn’t believe that the law is true, and so he and Nolik perform an experiment to see how various sandwiches will land on the floor. After making a multitude of different sandwiches and dropping them, Tom Thomas is shocked to see them all landing face down. Only the last sandwich, a turkey sandwich, doesn’t land face down. In fact, it doesn’t land at all, freezing in midair! It turns out that Simka and Toola have flown underneath it and stopped it from falling. They reprimand the boys for wasting so much food, demand that they stop the experiment and make them clean up the mess they made in the kitchen. That evening, Tom Thomas and his parents have dinner. Mom wonders why there is so little bread left at home. Tom Thomas admits that he carried out a scientific experiment. While not thrilled by the waste, she says at least his actions were done for the pursuit of scientific knowledge – that it’s better than sitting around playing games all day on your phone. No sooner does she say this than Dad, who is playing a game on his phone, drops the sandwich he is eating. Of course it land face down. Dad says it’s “Murphy’s Law”, but Tom Thomas disagrees. It’s the “Law of Buttered Bread”.
