Love notes and photos, jokes and riddles all ride along with the meal. But Missy Weinstein of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, takes the cake for creativity.
In addition to the notes and riddles, Missy has sent Adam, 11, and Brooke, eight, off with anagrams, cryptograms, backward messages and snapshots. They also find comic strips, sports articles or photos clipped from the daily paper in their lunch boxes.
The notes began as a way to ease the transition when Adam first started school. "I wanted him to know that I was thinking about him," says Missy, "and at 12:30, I knew he was reading my note."
