Jail Food

So, here's a little background to make this conversation more clear. During our summer program, the government graciously provides each child with a free lunch that consists of processed animal parts (generic lunch meat whose origin is unidentifiable upon sight), and processed cheese product on a (wait for it....), processed white roll that is often so soggy it has the consistency of bread dough. To accompany that delicacy, they are also provided with a chocolate milk that contains as much sugar per 8 oz serving as some sodas, a "juice" bag, yes I said bag, filled with high fructose colored water, and just for kicks, they throw in a bag of carrots (good job guys). Needless to say, the kids aren't a big fan. So today,Charmayne and I had a conversation that went like this.

"Ms. Homeskillet, why I can't bring my own lunch to school?"
"Well Charmayne, it's a long story that would bore you, but basically because the law says we have to feed you."
"Feed us! Well what's the deal with that?! Ya'll ' feedin' us jail food up in here."
"Jail food? Charmayne, you are too young to have been in jail dear, how would you know what jail food tastes like?"
"Well I ain't been in jail, but my brother is, and so is my uncle!"

Well Ms. Homeskillet, nice job walking right into that one. Next time try shutting up just a few seconds prior to prompting a 10 year old to tell you all her family's business.
