Flashback Friday

At lunch today, my coworker JL and I were reminiscing about our days in elementary school when we had a mandatory milk break.  The carton of milk cost three cents.  Yep three cents.  And you had to turn in the fifteen cents on Monday for the week. 

You knew you were one of the Chosen Two when the teacher would ask you and another classmate to go down to the cafeteria and carry back the plastic crate full of little pyramid-shaped milk cartons of milk.  You knew you were one of the Chosen if the teacher asked you to be one of the pair to go down to the cafeteria and carry back the plastic crate of milk cartons for milk break.

Just about everyone in the class had a snack for the obligatory Milk Break.  Most of the kids had the prepackaged Hostess or other brand snacks;  lucky kids had some homemade baked goods that their mother sent with them. 

But everyone in the class hoped their name would be called that morning to be one of the Chosen Two to go down and bring back the milk.
