I call to Brian and ask him what happened. He says, "I didn't finish all of my ice cream and wanted to bring it home." I say, "Um, didn't you think it would melt?" He says, "No there was an ice pack in there." I put one of those re-freezable ice packs to keep his lunch cool and I guess he thought that was the same as a freezer! Ugh! Thankfully all the chocolate did wash out and we didn't have to buy a new lunch box!
As you will notice from the pictures, he also brings home a lot of trash. I don't know why he feels the need to do this. He still hasn't figured out one thing that the older kids have, though. If I pack him something healthy like carrot sticks, sometimes he eats some and sometimes he doesn't. Either way he brings them home and I can say, "Why didn't you eat your carrots or cucumber etc.?" If he was smart he would throw them away and tell me he ate them!
If he buys lunch, I still pack him a few snacks and a juice because the lunch only comes with milk, and he doesn't like milk, and is $2.10. He can also buy tickets for juice but they are $1.25! Okay $2.10 is a great price for lunch but $1.25 for juice - no thanks!
And when he buys lunch he still brings home some of that in his lunch box! I have found rolls, pieces of a soft pretzel, chips, salsa and nachos (luckily the salsa was in a sealed container), fries, and fruit. He will bring home a bag that had cookies or chips with one little crumb left in it! I guess I should be thankful that he is not throwing away good food - but I usually throw away most of it that night!
chocolate here...
and there...
