When I was a young girl, they still had metal lunchboxes, and as always the brown bag, but I was the only one on the block who had a red plaid lunch box that looked like a purse and had a thermos to match. I was "it" that year, my girlfriends all loved it and then one day on the way home from school, it was wet and icy and I was running and I fell! I bit the dust hard! I cried all the way home, and needless to say when my mom was cleaning the thermos that evening, it crushed inside! Unuseable, done. I still continued to use it, but it was never the same! Boo-hooo
