Hey kids, what are you thinking? The cooks at school did such a nice thing for you this week in honor of National School Lunches Week. The Head Cook went to al lot of trouble and some expense to plan these fun activities for you and you were sooooo ungrateful. It was shameful!
Each day a cook would stand at the lunch line and hand you a bill of fake money to be reimbursed with a toy from her "store" at the end of the week. At first you were confused but happy, then when you noticed that some kids were getting $20 and some got $5. That's when the complaints started. By day 3 the cooks were dreading the handing out phase since every kid that came through and got that $1 was not grateful but instead complained.
By the end of the week every child had at least at $5 toy that he had chosen but the jopy that is usually accompanied with giving was lost and the gratitude that is usually felt when gifted was also lost. What has happened to make us feel so entitled to good stuff. What makes us think that we should have what everyone else has?
How very, very sad.
