Mum accidentally sends her kid to school with vodka for lunch

Not the liquid lunch her daughter was probably expecting.

Well it does have a colourful, fruity-looking package, just like kid's products.

An unnamed woman from Queensland, Australia told Facebook that she accidentally sent her five-year-old daughter to school with a pouch of raspberry sorbet-flavoured vodka, because it kind of looked like her daughter's "frozen juice pouch."

"EPIC lunchbox fail when you tell your five-year-old Preppie to put a frozen juice pouch in her lunchbox and you forget the other pouches in your freezer," the post reads.

No surprises that the mother in question got a phone call from her daughter's school, but according to Kidspot, the school were pretty chill.

"They were very good about it lol. I made light of it (it was obviously innocent on my daughter’s behalf). I apologised for not sending enough for the teachers and they just laughed, thankfully."

A similar incident occurred last year when a teenager called McKenzie Strange said her mother packed a can of nutritious Four Loko -- a highly caffeinated, very alcoholic drink -- in her lunch supplies.

At least give these kids a few more years of life experiences and challenging jobs, before they can experience the delight of a liquid lunch.
