Lunch Box Quotes are notes I typically include in the kids’ lunches every day. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (for some reason), they both get a text. Typically, both Numbers 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins, but today, 3 is sick, so she also gets a text.
