bug off!

i saw this product as i was flipping through Parents magazine last night. the editors suggested packing your kid's lunch in one of these as an April Fools' Day joke.

um. are you kidding me?

i wouldn't do such a thing to my husband, my mother, my best friend. i sure as hell would never do that to a little kid, especially one i gave birth to! maybe it's because of where i live—where a roach finding its way onto a PB & J isn't out of the question—or the fact that a roach once landed on my head while i was in bed and i have been even more terrified of the disgusting, useless creatures ever since.

but: come on. i would never in a million years pack one of Matthew's future school lunches in a bag like this. whoever dreamed up this idea is plain old sadistic, in my humble view.

eeesh.

UPDATE: literally 30 seconds after i posted this, a co-worker started freaking out because she opened one of our file cabinets and a roach was inside. a roach was inside, people! do you see why these plastic bags are not funny? they. are. not. funny.
