If my daughter had her way, she would eat “hot lunch” from the school’s cafeteria every day.
Unfortunately for her, she has a money-saving mom who only allows that indulgence once per week and it’s usually on a day they’re serving something healthy.
Sucks to be her.
Last week, it was a particularly chilly day and she queried if this was the day she could get her hot lunch. Responsible parent I am, I extolled the many virtues of saving your money as I packed her lunch. I grabbed her lunch bag, threw it in her backpack and sent her on her merry way to school.
And then looked at the kitchen counter to where I had left her unpacked food.
