The Wrong Tomato

In a hurry to get to work this morning, I reached into the fridge and grabbed the ingredients for my turkey sandwhich; muenster cheese, light mayo, country style Dijon mustard, horseradish, and a tomato. As I sliced the tomato, I noticed how it looked pale, its red less vibrant, the seeds inside looking too dark. I just bought it yesterday, though, so I dropped a slice on top of the cheese, ziplocked it, and started putting ingredients away. Then I saw the actual tomato on a different shelf in the fridge, vibrant red and ripe. I must have grabbed a tomato I had bought two weeks ago and never used. The wrong tomato. A sandwich ruined. But I had to get going, and there was no time to fix it. Grin and eat it.
