Oreos & Ziplock

In our school system this year all the kids have a mid-morning snack. This idea is a little foreign to me since kids (including mine) have been making it through the school day for hundreds of years just on breakfast until lunch time--but that's not my point.

My point is that instead of just packing a snack for Chloe everyday, each student takes turns bringing snacks for the WHOLE CLASS. It always ends up being a very expensive ordeal. Today is Chloe's last snack day and nothing would do that we had Oreos. Although we live in a residential area in town, we are still a little bit away from the closest grocery store, but one block away from a 7-11. So, we got robbed by 7-11 corp...I mean paid the extra money for the two packs of Oreos, and I spent the next twenty minutes putting 3 Oreos in each little Ziplock.

Now for the good part. The second package had one less cookie in it than the first, so naturally we told Chloe the polite thing to do was to take that one for herself to make sure all her classmates had 3 cookies each. Oh my goodness. You would think the house was burning down. "Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Give it to so-and-so that I don't like!!! NOOOOO! That's not fair. I'm not doing that. Give me something else." You get the drift.

People, I beg of you, why can't we just bring our own snack everyday?!?!
