I had totally forgotten about the lunch ticket situation. I remember they eventually figured out giving a kid a piece of paper to not lose for a week - a 2”x3” paper you’d put in your pocket when you went out to the playground after lunch - was a bad idea. I think we switched to the daily lunch ticket the next year, right? You were an innovator and driver of change, Chris!
Yeah, it was either a daily ticket or they kept your name on a list.
Eventually I became such good friends with the lunch people that I worked out a deal by 8th grade where I made the weekly lunch menu announcement on Monday and I scored an extra slice of pizza on Friday.
I really liked the image of the Rep going up to the Speaker and giving him his lunch money.

It's my version of "Art of the Deal."
