Welcome to the Weird Lunch Bag - 8th Grade Edition

The first weird lunch bag of the 2016 - 2017 school year begins today, so I thought a bag welcoming Marie back to school would be appropriate.

It says:

"Welcome
To
The
Weird Lunch Bag
(8th Grade Edition)

PS. You're weird."

- Stay weird my friends.

Weird Lunch Bag - Summer Edition: An International Lunch bag

Internationally speaking...

It says "Weirdo" in several different languages.  Google Translate is awesome! 

The languages I used are (in no particular order):

• Spanish
• French
• Icelandic
• Arabic
• Japanese
• Korean
• Norwegian
• Polish
• Urdu
• Hindi

-Stay weird, my friends.

Weird Lunch Bag - Summer Edition: Welcome to Summer

We have another summer class for Marie, which means another summer time lunch bag.

I like the sun

"Welcome to SUMMER"

-Stay weird, my friends.

Weird Lunch Bag - Summer Edition: You are falling under my power.

Look into the spinning vortex of words.

It says:

"Look into the spnnning vortex of my words.  You are getting sleepy.  You are slowly falling under my spell.  You will repeat after me, "I am falling under the spell of the lunch bag.  I will give dad twenty dollars."

I will let you know how Marie reacted later.

Until then,

-Stay weird, my friends.

Weird Lunch Bag - Summer Edition: Nobody expects the Weird Lunch Bag

It's a special SUMMER edition of the Weird Lunch Bag Blog.




Marie is taking a summer babysitting class and she needed to bring her lunch and, of course, I'm not going to let the opportunity for a weird decorated lunch bag slip by.

"Wait...
What is this???

OMG!!!

It's another
Weird Lunch
BAG

Were you expecting this?  I wasn't, but then nobody expects the Weird lunch bag!!!"

The bag was already labeled with her name on the other side, so I decorated her bag and placed it with the other kids' bags.  She didn't bother to turn it around because she though her mother had made the lunch, then a little later that morning she came to me and said, "I'm such an idiot!", indicating to me that she saw the decorations.

We both had a good laugh.

- Stay weird, my friends.

A surprise lunch bag for the end of the year.

I decided to buy a bag of mixed "fun size" candy and put it in a special End of the School Year lunch bag so she could give it to her friends. 

Here is one side of the bag:

And here is the other side:

The whale is saying, "See you next year."
The cat is saying, "Meow!  Have fun this summer."
The ostrich is saying, "Go on vacation!"
The robot is saying, "You're weird!"
The sun is saying, "Get an awesome tan."
The butterfly is saying, "Sleep in, dude!"

I hope all of Marie's friends enjoyed their End of the Year candy. 

- Stay weird, my friends.

It would seem Marie and I have a fan base

Last Friday and again yesterday, Marie's friends sent me a couple of notes about my lunch bag decorations.

The note from Friday:

They like me.  They REALLY like me!

"The lunch bags are so weird and random!"
"Yes!"
"OMG the lunch bags are so darn awesome! I Luvvve them!"
"I love them :)"
"They is amerzing"




 The note from yesterday:

Apparently I'm known as "Marie's Dad".

"Dear Maries Dad,
I just wanted to
say that I'm a fan
of your lunch bag
art skills. 
They are so fab.

-Ashleigh 
Maries BFF"

Thank you, Ashleigh and all of Marie's friends for your kind words.  Rest assured the weirdness will resume at the beginning of the new school year.  Until then...

Stay weird, my friends.
