To be fair, it does resemble a juice pouch!
If you’re a parent, you know the struggle of packing school lunches. You might have felt a twinge of guilt over that bag of chips or the stack of cookies. But fear not! Let this tale of an Australian mom who accidentally packed something a tad more alarming in her daughter’s lunch bring you some comfort.
In what must’ve been a wild call, this unnamed mom received a message from her five-year-old’s school about an unusual item found in her child’s lunch. What was it, you ask? Just a frozen vodka slushy drink!
Sharing her lunchbox blunder on social media, she humorously captioned, “EPIC lunchbox fail… when you tell your 5-year-old to grab a frozen juice pouch from the freezer and forget about the other pouches!”
In a valiant effort to teach responsibility, this mom had her daughter pack her own lunch. And well, we can’t always win, can we? Thankfully, the school’s response was quite laid-back. The mom told Kidspot, “They were super understanding and laughed it off. I made it clear it was an innocent mistake, and I apologized for not providing enough for the teachers!”
Oops! While this mom likely felt a mix of embarrassment and guilt, it’s a reminder that we all face our own lunch packing challenges. I mean, I’d feel guilty sending my kid with a slightly bruised apple—imagine if I had to deal with vodka! But really, as long as there’s no vodka in your kid’s lunch, you’re doing great.
