This is gross, right?

One of my students left her lunchbox at school on Friday, so she came to school with a spare one today.  And there was a braid attached to it.  Like...a braid.  From someone's head.  As in, like this:

ON her lunchbox.  One of the other kids asked her about it and she said, "Well my lunchbox is a girl and girls have hair."  All matter of fact, like it makes perfect sense.

I was so weirded out that I didn't even try to address the situation.  Hopefully it won't come back tomorrow!

 

Re: This is gross, right?

  • Uh, yes that is gross!  Did it look like it "belonged" on the box, like did they box COME with hair? or did she attach hair to it?

  • Um what?! How can a parent let their child do something like this? Lunch bozes don't come w braids attached to them I assume...they must have made it?
  • Yeah, it was definitely an addition to the original box.
  • I'm going to pin this for future reference.  I'm sure my hypothetical 5 yo is going to need a way to define the gender of her lunchbox.

  • Okay, so I'm a bit concerned. At first when you got this job we were all like "YAY, Congrats...awesome!" Now...there's been a pregnancy test, a braid....and I'm just getting a bit concerned about this new place.

    LOL at this!  And yeah that's gross. Teachers could write books about this stuff.  One time, I found a tampon in a lunchbox.  Apparently the string cheese and the tampon we both waiting to be packed for the day.  Mom ended up with cheese in her purse.  She was mortified.  I thought it was funny.  ;-)

    If I wore tampons and had a child, I could totally see this happening to me.
