That Mysterious Practice Of Old

As Aidan hungrily looked on while I made her lunch, Allie suggested that I buy Aidan his own lunch box so that he wouldn't just always want hers. I agreed that it was a good idea, and added another thought. "Maybe while we're looking at lunch boxes for Aidan, we could buy a thermos for your lunch box. That way, you could have some warm soup at lunch; the thermos bowl keeps it warm for you, and you just open the lid and eat it."
Allie was intrigued, "Oh, yeah. I've heard of that. That would be cool."
