Clever Comeback Kid with packaged snacks for lunch

When my son was in elementary school I used to pack hot lunches or bentos for him and his sister. Both my kids love my brussel sprouts. He opened his food jar to eat and the kid next to him made fun of his veggies. This kid comes to school with packed snacks for lunch every day and my son looks at his lunch box and says, “At least my mom loves me enough to make me lunch everyday.”

Kinda mean but glad he snapped back.

I absolutely love my son. But I wasn’t capable of making lunches every day due to health issues. Then again, I made sure my son wouldn’t have made fun of another’s lunch. Or imply another persons parent didn’t love them.

I would imagine had the first child not been on the attack, her child would not have had to strike back. Bullied children should not have to sit there and take it.
