  4. No, I have never had that, but I know when I was little and in day care, they used a premixed peanut butter and jelly. I can’t say it’s a bad idea! I would have liked that gift!

    GOOBERS! never even heard of it, but I love that idea and the name, and so would my dad! he loves almond butter and jam on toast, plus he loves describing foods with words like “goopy” and would love both eating and saying “goobers” ;) maybe I’ll make him some!
