The Sandwich Thief

Eddy is in the kitchen at the office where he works.
He is talking to his new colleague, Elena.
Eddy: Ugh! It happened again!
Elena: What?
Eddy: Someone stole my lunch!
Eddy: This has happened every day for the past week!
Elena: Really? That’s strange.
Eddy: I think Phil has been stealing my food.
Elena: Yeah, Phil always looks hungry.
Eddy:  He stole my ham sandwich yesterday!
Elena: Do you mean your chicken sandwich?
Elena: You brought a ham sandwich on Tuesday.
Eddy:  What? How do you know that?
Elena: Uh… I’m good at guessing!
Eddy:  Well, I have a surprise for Phil tomorrow.
Eddy:  I’m going to bring a disgusting fish and banana sandwich!
Elena: Good plan.

The next day, Eddy sees Elena again.
Eddy: No one stole my lunch today!
Elena: But that’s a good thing, right?
Eddy: No, I only brought that fish and banana sandwich… so now I have to eat it.
Elena: Well, I have a delicious turkey sandwich today.
Eddy: Really? You don’t usually bring your lunch.
Elena: Well, I’m allergic to bananas.
Eddy:  Wait… It was you!
