And we had a hot lunch and cold lunch, too. Although I can't remember what was offered in either one. It was tooooo long ago!

That's the way it was at my school too. I can't remember who it was we gave the money to though. But our cold lunch was the same as bringing your own lunch. Hot lunch is what the cafeteria gave us.
I only ate hot lunch one time. I only would get the milk tickets to get milk. One thing I do remember is my mom chewing out our school principal. My God she was SO mad. I was in 1st grade and it was the 1st, only and last time I ate hot lunch. I don't remember what it was on my plate but it looked gross so I wouldn't eat it. I went to a private school, so we had to wear uniforms, plaid skirts with a white shirt, burgundy ties and a dark blue or black sweater as I can remember. Anyway, It was a Catholic school, with Nuns and Christian brothers. One of them said "young lady you will not be allowed to go out for recess until you have finished your lunch". Well, me being me, I started crying, but at the same time being the stubborn, spoiled brat that I was
I still wouldn't eat it. So, they called my mom and told her what happened. I guess they thought she was going to be o.k. with it. She was so mad, she actually showed up at my school, and she went straight to the cafeteria where I was sitting and crying.
When I saw her I started boo hoo crying lol
then at that point she was livid. She took me up to the principal's office and this is what she said to her. "You have some nerve denying my daughter her play time, when my husband and I pay full tuition for my daughter to go to school here. If she doesn't want to eat the food that "WE" pay for then she does not have to. If either one of us ever gets a call like this again, we will pull my daughter out of this school immediately! Is that understood!!?" She said some other stuff too. I remember that day vividly because I've never seen my mom that mad before. After that they were so nice to me. lol lol
