Oh, the Mind of a 5 Yr Old

If you have noticed lately Emma has given me tons of good material to blog. And today is no exception. After arriving home from school, I took Emma's lunch box out of her backpack, unzipped it to find everything I had packed this morning. And I mean everything...completely untouched.

Me: Emma, why didn't you eat your lunch today?

Emma: What? I did eat lunch.

Me: Then how come everything is still in your lunchbox?

Emma: I had a lunchbox today? I just bought my lunch.

Me: How did you buy it if you didn't have any lunch money?

Emma: I just went through the lunch line, picked what I wanted and sat down and ate.

Me: And nobody said anything to you about it?

Emma: Nope.

Oh my. Don't worry folks... I am not going to let Emma think this is okay. For those of you who remember, we had this same problem with Abby. At the end of her Kindergarten year, I receive a bill from the cafeteria for about $8. Abby just kept going up to the ice cream cooler and picking out ice cream whenever she wanted it( at that time ice cream was $.50). So we explained the cafeteria is not a place where you just take what you want; you have to pay first. Looks like I will be having this discussion again. And Emma will bring the money for today in to school tomorrow.

Oh my word. That is hilarious. Shoplifting from the school lunch line. I love it. I may go eat lunch with Emma next week so she can "buy" me lunch too.
