“Ms. Lacey, since Spencer isn’t here can I please have his hot lunch? It’s not that I don’t have a lunch, I just really want pizza instead. My lunch is so mid. I have a stupid tuna sandwich everyday. The bread is always half wet and it squishes when I bite it in a way that makes me uncomfortable. My mom’s a good cook, the taste is fine. The form of the sandwich just can’t last for the whole day. So can I have Spencer’s pizza or what?”
