Do any of these kids go to school or daycare? I can only imagine what their teachers might think when they try to get their friends to hide the lock n locks out of their lunches.

3DTs - No, mine aren't in school yet - but we HAVE had playdates where kids take out their lunchboxes and my kids exclaim "A LETTERBOX!!!" And then of course, there's the necessary struggle for who gets to open it - while some poor kid is crying that they took his lunch.

This only happened once...

Whenever my 3 year old gets her hands on a computer (either my laptop or a toy) she starts tapping keys and tells us that she is either looking up "geocashing" or "letterboxing".

Too funny! Is that one of those situations where you are trying to be the stern parent but your sides are splitting from not laughing out loud?

My son who is 3 hid a tin of cookies from his Dad. Dad looked for them couldn't find them then when my son thought dad wasn't looking he went to put them someplace else. Dad was peaking around the corner. So funny. I was told about it when I got home from work.

We use ziplocks for food now

I cringe now every time I do this since I began letterboxing.
