What did you have for lunch today? This is what Mini-Bash ate. (I had soba.) Mrs. Bashcraft wakes up early to make his lunch. And in Japan, parents try to make lunch fun and cute so that children will eat it. See that moppet below? That's Mini-Bash in his pilgrim-style school uniform. And that pink Anpanman thingy? That's an award for eating his lunch (boxed and school) everyday this past month. As much as I loathe Pokémon, it can't be *that* bad, can it? Yes, yes it can. Brian Ashcraft
