A change from the usual

This morning I was preparing my son's packed lunch, as usual, when he came through to the kitchen. This is not unusual, and is normally followed by a request for some wholly inappropriate food item to be put in his lunch box. Cola is a regular request, but he's not allowed that very often - he gets a bit too hyper! He goes through the usual "buttering up" process: "Daddy, you make the best lunches ever!" "Thanks, son, I'm glad you like them" I reply, waiting. "Dad..." "Yes?" "Do you think I could have a packet of ready salted crisps in my lunch today?" "Of course, but don't you want a different flavour?" "No, it's got to be plain flavour." "OK, but why plain?" "Cos Kemal can only eat plain ones, other ones make him ill." It turns out that his friend Kemal is dairy intolerant, and plain crisps are one of the few types without milk powder in them. So Godzooky 1 wanted a pack so he could share them with his friend. Sometimes I think that we are doing the right thing with our children.
