Lunch Account
"How was school today guys?" Nick asked Jasmine, Houston, and Johnna after he had gotten them all situated in the car for the drive home.
"Good." Jasmine and Houston replied happily.
"Not good dada." Johnna replied sadly.
"Why didn't you have a good day kiddo?" Nick asked her.
"I got a pink slip." She replied.
Nick was shocked, kids only get pink slips if they've done something really bad and Johnna was such a sweetheart, in fact Nick had just gone to her parent-teacher conference last week and Miss Pauley had raved about what a great kid she was.
"What did you get a pink slip for?" He asked her.
"I don't know, Miss Pauley just gave it to me at the end of the day." Johnna replied.
"Well, when mommy gets home you can talk to her about it, until then, don't worry ok?" He told her with a smile.
Johnna looked like the tears were going to start flowing any second.
When Jackie got home Johnna told her what happened too, Jackie was so shocked she nearly fell over.
"Sweetheart, go get the pink slip out of your backpack so mommy can see it." Jackie told her.
Johnna went and got the pink slip out of her backpack and then handed it to Jackie.
"Sweetheart, this isn't a pink slip, this is a lunch account slip, this just tells mommy and daddy that you need more lunch money in your lunch account, it doesn't mean that you are in trouble, it just looks like a pink slip because it's printed on a pink slip of paper. Jasmine and Houston probably got one today too since at the beginning of the year I put the same amount of money in all your accounts."
"Yeah I got one." Houston said as he got up and headed for his backpack.
"I got one too but I forgot mine at school, but that's ok, I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." Jasmine said with a shrug. (When kids don't have lunch money in their accounts they either have to eat a peanut butter and sandwich or a ham and cheese sandwich)
"You won't have to eat a peanut butter sandwich kiddo, since I know that you need lunch money you don't need to show me the slip, in fact, just throw it away tomorrow." Jackie told her.
"Ok." The young child said with a shrug.
Johnna was so happy she that wasn't in trouble she was practically dancing around. Nick and Jackie were also happy that Johnna wasn't in trouble.
Little did Jackie know though that this lunch money situation would leave her to feel like one of the worse mothers on the planet.
