A Very Batty Black and Orange Lunch {iheartLunch}

A very batty Black and Orange Lunch

[exceptional-citing quoted=”featured-bento” template=”bubble-gray-round” date=”” ](Stored in an Easy Lunchbox) Almond Butter Sandwiches (stamped using the CuteZCute Animal Palz Set), Alphabet Pretzels, Mozzarella Balls, Orange Sweet Pepper, Grapes and a Clementine.  (Halloween decor from Bento USA)[/exceptional-citing]

“MOM!  That’s Ms. Martinez, Mom!“, shouted the Little Lady across the grocery store, little index finger pointing sharply at a dark-haired woman evaluating pork loins in the butcher’s refrigerated case.

“Shhhhhhh!  You don’t need to shout …. or point.  Who is Ms. Martinez?“, I replied, quickly bringing her extended arm down to her side.

“That’s the teacher in the cafeteria who always crowds me.”, she said in a way too loud stage- whisper.  My pixie daughter moved closer to me.  “Every. Single. Day…. she crowds.”

My radar picked up — crowding?

“What do you mean?“, I asked in what I hoped was a nonchalant tone.

“Ugh…“, (with great dramatic flair) “She thinks you have the best pick collection and always wants to see what’s in my lunch.  She took a picture today!  And then, that Ms. Martinez tried to take one of my bats and walk off.  I said, ‘Now, Ms. Martinez, you give that BACK!  She just laughed and put it in my hand.“, and by this point, my Little Lady had a hand on her hip and her head was zig-zagging back in forth to emphasize each and every word.

Seriously.  A drama queen.

The lunch in question?  The “Batty” lunch shown above.  It seems my Halloween pick collection is getting coveted.

But, I have a sneaking suspicious the Little Lady isn’t as put out by the lunch-time attention as she pretends.  Monday night, as the hungry girl dug into her dinner and announced she wanted the leftovers for lunch, the Little Lady added: “And, don’t forget to put some of those Halloween picks in for Ms. Martinez to see!“
