The funny thing about this particular story, Nan, is that Lois is my mother. My mom had a very similar conversation with school officals when I was in middle school (although it was about lockers, not lunches - long story) and she had the principal's head turning so fast she didn't know what hit her.
Yes, exactly. Seriously, have you met my mother?

The essence of Lois Lane in one great line.

Good story, Nan!

I think it's a Mom thing. I pity anyone who tries to screw with my own mother, or even her kids who don't live with her anymore. <g>

It's nice to see another installment with these characters! Makes me want to re-read a few of the older stories.

Makes me think of a variation on an age-old phrase.

Hell hath no fury like the mother of a child scorned.

but poor Miss Wilson - caught between "The Boss" and "The Mom".

gotta admire Lois!

had to smile at the peanut butter ending - the priority of boys, regardless of age, everywhere

Great story, Nan!

Thanks!

Hi Nan,

Abolutely Brilliant - who could not back down when Mad Dog Lane is let off her leash...

Looking forward to reading more.

I read the story at the other board before coming to check this one, but I'll comment here.

This story was a great continuation to the other.

I, too, love this story. It's so unbelievably, shockingly infuriating that Marta would be punished for bringing a too-spicy sandwich to school and causing pain to the girl who stole her lunch!!! Ah, but Lois gave that criminally unfair principal what she deserved. Marta was so right here:

Yes!!!

Ann

Funny bit. So, when will Marta call for Superman?

As usual, loved it.

I liked how Marta is being suspended, but the real bully is sent to self-esteem classes. Exactly how does a poor self-esteem make one into a bully? (I tend to take the little bully in my family down a notch, but that's another story. Why is it that with only two students in my kid's class, they still have to figure out a pecking order?)

I also loved the last scene. I could just picture the two boys talking with their mouths full. And I could envision Marta having visions of glory.

Nicely done.

Elisabeth

Way too many goodvlines to quote in this one. I love Lois's approach. Wish I could be that calm about things like that.

Sigh, I remember Peanut butter and banana sandwiches...I can't eat them anymore due to my recent allergic reaction to banana products.

I love this universe (Actually, I love all of your universes )!

More soon please!

James

Thanks to everyone for the nice feedback. I'll see what I can do for a third story but I'll have to wait until the inspiration hits.

Nan

They pick on people to feel better about themselves.
