He brings me snacks...

E: "Hey, mom. I cleaned out my tote tray at school and brought home all of the leftover snacks."
Me: "These have been in your tote tray? Gross. Have you not been eating your snacks?"
E: "I do. But sometimes I don't have time to finish. And I'm only 8 and you pack too much."
Me: "So why didn't you trash them?"
E: "I dunno. Thought you might want to do something with them."
Me: "Like trash them?"
E: "Like eat them. Or trash them. Your choice."
