At my daughter's elementary school, she orders her lunch and we pay the tab every few weeks. She had recently been taking advantage of the no cash requirement and ordering extra snacks at every opportunity. We explained to her that, while we wanted her to order the food she needed for lunch, the extra purchases needed to stop. On my birthday the lunch room had chocolate milk buy-one-get-one-free. She happily took her two cartons back to her table, but a few minutes later she returned to the counter with one in hand. "Today's my mom's birthday," she explained with a sigh, "and I'm supposed to be saving money. I'm just going to take the free one."
Really cute story. How many times as moms, trying to feed a bunch of kids at home, have wanted to just get the free one at the grocery store?
