TO BE CONTINUED part 8:

TALE OF THE UNBEAREBLE PRESSURE ON MODERN PARENTHOOD...

This note was given to the parents of my youngest sons kindergarden about two weeks ago:

"Tuesday 31st of january our cook, Jane, has a day off. Therefore we ask you to bring your kids a lunch pack for this day in kindergarden. We firmly believe that the kids are very interested in lunch packs and that it could be a new and exiting learning experience to bring a lunchpack along, and thus teach how to h a n d l e one.
Another reason we ask you to bring a lunch pack for your kids is, that we therebye will have more time for the kids as opposed to us making them lunch this day."

I leave it open for interpretation.
