The Note in Ben’s Lunchbox, part 2
July 6th, 2006 Caroline
Ben’s been grooving along for about six weeks now with his boring but adequate school snack of fruit leather and applesauce. Yes, he did give me a hard time last week that the fruit leather wasn’t organic (apparently he’s been listening in on our discussions of Michael Pollan’s latest book), but otherwise, all’s been fine in snack land since we started buying fruit leather.
Except this week, we ran out of Trader Joe’s applesauce, and so Tony had to run out to the local market to get a different, apparently unacceptable brand.
When Ben came home from school today, he asked, “OK, so, who packed my lunchbox?”
I admitted I had.
Ben walked over to where I was nursing Eli, zipped open the lunchbox, and presented this note:
“Mom and Dad,
My applesauce is too sour!!
All I had for snack was water and a fruit leather. (Tim gave me crackers).”
Thanks, Tim!
