This all started when my wife asked me to start making the lunches for our children. We have four, plus our nephew so making lunch is quite a large endeavor. When she was done making the lunches, my wife would label the bags with each kids initials. The labeling would be as follows:
"J" = Joey
"M" = Matt
"D" = Dan
"E" = Eric
"Marie" = Marie
As you can see we could not use an "M" for Marie's bag because it had been used for my other son.
So when I started making the lunches I labeled them the same way... for awhile.
One day Marie started calling me a "Weirdo". I knew she was just kidding around, so I threw it right back at her, calling her "More weird". It would go back and forth until one of us would give up, then we would both laugh about it.
So one morning I labeled her bag with a "W". She immediately picked up on this and of course, we both laughed about it. Soon it evolved into me labeling her lunch bag with the following:
MTWOTW
When she didn't know what it meant, so I told her it stood for, "Marie, the Weirdest of the Weird". She laughed, of course and took it to school. This started a tradition of me writing weird stuff on her lunch bag.
So recently Marie came home from school and told me that her friends were incredibly disappointed. She showed up to school with a lunch bag labeled, "Marie" because mom had made her lunch that morning, not me. No weird letters on her lunch bag.
So yesterday I made up this:
And so it begins.
Stay weird, my friends.

| Hi. I"m Marie's lunch bag. I carry a tastey (sic) and nutritional lunch which Marie will eat. (At least I hope so) It is my sincerest wish that this lunch will give Marie the nutrition she needs to be really REALLY WEIRD!!! TTFN |
And so it begins.
Stay weird, my friends.
