Parents who pack their kid's lunch are the true heroes. That's a lot of extra effort and planning just to ensure a healthy, yummy lunch.
It can be a thankless job, but it's definitely better than buying lunch in the school cafeteria.
But sometimes you're just not in the mood to put together a well-balanced meal. Whether you're tired, sick, hungover (it's okay to admit it) or just plain over it, some days the lunches are a little less...organized than others.
These parents are all aware of that struggle.

3. What does Mandy need the spoon for, though? Unless this is just a lesson in following directions.
