MORE INTERESTING COMMENTS have been added to recent posts on the franchise, the soaring illegitimacy rate, the faux manliness of Hillary Clinton and fatally distracted parents. Comments have also been added to “The Purloined Lunch,” which offers reflections by readers on the meaning of serving a spouse.

That discussion reminded me of another lunch story.

A woman I know was divorced and rasing her nine-year-old daughter alone. The daughter was protective of her mother and every morning would make her a bag lunch before she went to work as a professional in a corporate office.

One day the mother forgot her lunch. The daughter was distraught.

She did something that perhaps would only occur to a child. She called the radio station her mother listened to on her commute to work and told the staff what had happened. They then announced on air, “Mrs. N, go home. You forgot your lunch!”
