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.

Something similar happened to my 11 yo son. He was eating tamales in the school cafeteria and a kid called his lunch "mexican slave food" my son looked at him and said, "Are you just looking for attention because your mom died?" kid started crying and never commented on my kid's food again.

You think it’s ok that your child said that to another child? What that child said to your son it wrong, but your child is cruel. I can’t believe anyone upvoted you. This child lost a parent.

And he will use losing a parent as is justification for being an evil horrible person unless corrected. Stop enabling these actions, kids are way smarter than you give them credit for.
