Childhood experience

When I was about 11, I was left home alone. I don’t recall where my dad and brother were, but they were not home. My dad had left me with a frozen pizza for dinner.

This is what I still can’t wrap my head around. When I went to make the pizza, it was the kind that had the plastic shrink wrap around the actual pizza inside the box. When I pulled the plastic wrap wrapped pizza from the box, all of the pepperoni had fallen to one side.

I said either, “Are you kidding me?” or “Are you serious?” out loud.

I heard a deep voice behind me go, “NO”.

The TV was off and I was home alone. I called my dad freaking out. I still don’t know what the heck that was.
