The last lunch bag of the school year

Maire has 3 more days at her school, but they are half days, so today is the last day of the 2015-2016 school year that she will have a lunch bag.  I thought it would be appropriate to reflect and reminisce on her lunch bags that I've decorated.

 

"Marie, It's the last day of school where you will have a lunch.  Lets look back on previous lunch bags and reminisce on the weirdness"

There are 4 panels each showing a different bag from the past.

• Panel 1:  "Remember the poems?" and it shows a drawing of a bag saying, "Roses are red.  You're weird".
• Panel 2:  "Remember the jokes?" and the drawing shows a bag saying, "What did the ocean say to the shore?"
• Panel 3:  "How about the rainbows?" and the drawing shows a bag with a rainbow on it.
• Panel 4:  "Who could forget the dragon?" and the drawing shows a bag with a dragon on it.

At the bottom it says, "So many lunch bags.  So much weirdness.  Just remember one thing as summer approaches..."

The note inside the bag:

"Stay weird, and enjoy summer!"

The Weird Lunch Bag Blog will go on hiatus over the summer and resume at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year.  Until then, stay weird, my friends.

I coudn't think of anything...

"Greetings Marie and Friends.
I couldn't think of anything
weird to write on today's bag,
so here's a picture of a dragon
riding a unicycle. "

-Stay weird, my friends.

Snoopy and the Hitchhiker's Guide

Snoopy and the Hitchhiker's Guide.

I used to draw a lot of Snoopy when I was a kid.  I got away from it, but I've always been able to draw Snoopy quite well, so I thought it might be nice on Marie's lunch bag today.  I'm also a HUGE Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan and it was the first thing I could think up for Snoopy to say.

Marie gave me a huge smile when she saw this:

"TIME IS AN ILLUSION.
LUNCHTIME, DOUBLY
SO."

- Stay weird, my friends.

She's a lot of things...

Marie... she's a lot of things.

It says:

Marie

"You're great.  Your awesome. 
You're cool.You're smart. 
You're amazing. 
You're marvelous.

but most of all...

You're Weird!"

-Stay weird, my friends.

A hypnotic lunch bag

Background:
So for the past few years, if I had a series of questions to ask my kids, I would always add in the additional question, "Will you give me $20?" just to see if they are paying attention.

Example:

Me:  Do you like your teacher?
Kid:  Yes.
Me:  Is she really nice?
Kid:  Yes.
Me: Does she make class fun?
Kid:  Yes.
Me:  Will you give me $20?
Kid:  No, Dad!

So it has become this running gag, that I decided to put on her lunch bag.

It says:
"Read the following out loud"
(and repeat)

I am getting very sleepy. 
I am under dad's spell. 
I will give dad twenty dollars!"

She still won't give me $20.  I guess I will have to keep trying.

-Stay weird, my friends.

A very weird question

What would YOU do?

"Hey Marie!

If you're driving down the road
on a motorcycle and a monkey
in a wheelchair breaks in
while you're rubbing chocolate
pudding on your cat's legs
and he starts violently beating
the rubber chick with a
barbequed (sic) dog's tail,

What would you
DO???"

Background:
When I was in high school, some friends of mine and I thought it was funny to come up with a bunch of "stupid" questions that made absolutely no sense. (We also had some stupid answers for these stupid questions that were equally nonsensical)  We wrote them down and they were sort of an inside joke between us.  This was one of the more... uh... creative questions we came up with.

Marie smiled.

-Stay weird, my friends.

Rainbow lunchbag

Its in color this time.

I thought I would color her bag today.  She smiled when she saw her bag this morning:

"WELCOME!
To your
RAINBOW
LUNCH BAG!!!"

Stay weird, my friends.
