”Notice anything different, Mom?”

I looked over. ”Uh…no. Looks like your sack lunch, uneaten as usual.”

MacLean made that “13 year old boy exasperated noise” that he’s been perfecting. ”Yeah. Because it’s the same lunch I’ve had for 3 days!”

“But…but you like yogurt and oranges!” I hedged.

“No, Mom. It’s the same exact lunch. You haven’t changed anything for 3 days. Why don’t you just tell the world you’re trying to murder me through Salmonella?”

Have I mentioned that my twins definitely picked up my Drama Queen streak?

But it’s true. I must have just assumed I’d already packed it, or something. Man, I do suck, don’t I?

Anyway, here’s a lovely list of 100 new ideas to try for packing lunch from home. The lovely girls over at Family Fresh Cooking.com did all the work collecting them for us. Thank you!
