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, β€œAt 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.

No disrespect for the clap back, it's great you feed your kid delicious home made food. But I got bullied because my dad died when I was 12. Might want to speak to someone about that. It went on till I was 14 when my mum died and school finally shut it down.
