Word of the Day - Box Social

I've never heard the term Box Social before. It made me think of a time when I was very young and there was a get together. They instructed me to bring a box lunch. My mother got a box that may have been from a restaurant but much larger than what they give you now a day.

She cooked fried chicken and all sorts of goodies that she put in the box. When I think back she really went the extra mile.

The strange thing was that when I got to the school get together all the other kids had their lunches in plain paper sandwich bags. Back then I felt somewhat embarrassed. I guess I didn't think how much love my mom put into that box. Thank you mom you did great!
 
That's a wonderful story, that you associated with that phrase, box lunch, @Ruthanne

Thanks for sharing that. I also love the way you told it.
It was touching to read it. Heart-warming, and also reminds me to re-think some of my conclusions, from what I remember about things from childhood.
