Review of School LunchAnyone who's ever prepared their kids for school will deeply appreciate this piece. The description of the quest for the perfect lunches, and the lunch bags left me chuckling for hours after. The next day, when I packed my own kids' lunches, I found myself thinking of this piece and laughing. I highly recommend it! |

Review of School Lunch
The Dave and Morley stories have a way of making me feel that I am not alone in my daily imperfections. This story is no exception. Very funny, and reassuring.
