I Fix My Own Lunches

Two kids sat down to lunch. One opened his lunchbox and began to gripe, “Tuna salad again? This is the fourth day in a row. I’m sick of tuna salad!” His friend said, “I bet if you tell your mom you don’t’ like tuna salad she’ll fix you something else.” “Mom?” replied the first kid. “I fix my own lunches.”
