TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Mom’s hilarious sandwich fail turns into giving back to others
We’ve all been there as parents. Making your kid’s school lunch only to have them come home later and tell you how much they hated it.
Luckily this mom turned it into a viral moment and is now giving back to others. A few years ago she posted a video of her kid coming home from his first day of school and telling her that the sandwich she made was terrible. (Here’s the video.)
What happened was that she didn’t have time to go grocery shopping and since they can’t have peanut butter in school because of other kid’s allergies she made him a butter and jelly sandwich. Which he obviously wasn’t a fan of.
The good part is that she has now launched a website called TerribleSandwich.com, where they sell merch and raise money for charity and people in need. 50% of the money raised will go to Feeding America they say.
Awesome!
