  • Starving The Chickeymonkey

    The truth finally came out today about why my little Chickeymonkey never finishes her sandwiches at school.

    Every day, I doodle a little something on the girls’ sandwich bags. It’s always different, always just a cute little surprise to remind them I’m around in the middle of the day.

    Today, I doodled this little girl. I thought she turned out so sweet and cute, I knew she’d be appreciated.

    Sure enough, when I picked up the girls from school, I asked my daily question – “did you finish your lunch today?” and got my standard answer, “Nope”. I asked “why do I keep making you sandwiches if you never eat them?” and her reply just tickled me and brought a tear to my eye.

    “I didn’t wanna finish my sandwich mommy because I didn’t wanna throw my bag away because the girl is too cute!”

    Awwwww…..
    Then the guilt hit me. My kid isn’t eating her lunch because she doesn’t want to throw away the bag.

    No wonder she comes home and eats me out of house & home – I’m starving my Chickeymonkey! Maybe next week I’ll doodle full bellied little girls throwing away bags with doodles on them.

    That is so cute but can’t she just eat it and then save the bag?

    LOL I wouldn’t want to throw it away either. I love sticky notes…everyday that I make a cold lunch for Tay I write a note on a sticky and send it that way. Maybe use a piece of paper or sticky to draw on!
