Just a theory

So I was sitting at my table at work today and this chick was like "Someone stole my lunch!"...someone had stolen her macaroni & cheese from the shared fridge at work. So I was thinking about what would compel a person to steal someone else's lunch without shame, and I thought of this...

What if you treated your children like a social experiment (seriously, what else are they good for?) and you raised them to believe that the fridge was a constantly regenerating source of food, and every time they opened the fridge, it would have food inside for them? Obviously, it would take a good amount of work to make them believe that, but if you could pull it off, I think the results could potentially be hilarious. They would eventually just go around eating other peoples' lunches from shared fridges with the belief that the fridge had provided that food for them. You would also have to tell them that the people who tried to convince them that this was NOT true were just trying to make a play for their food.

Heh. I can't wait to have children.
