[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol at connecting specific colleges—Yale, Bryn Mawr—with whether or not your mom packed your lunch. Never change, DCUM.[/quote]

You‘re not following, dear.  Which college did you go to?  I’m assuming it wasn’t Yale or Bryn Mawr…[/quote]

Just UVA, so you’ll have to pardon me. What am I not following? Both posters implied that they or someone they know is/was successful at their [name drop selective school] [b]despite the fact that their moms packed their lunches through high school. [/b]What am I missing?[/quote]

They were saying they still managed to go to good schools, even though their moms packed their lunches.  Which you do seem to understand, which begs the question as to why you said they were “connecting specific colleges… with whether or not their moms packed their lunch”.  Which is not what they were doing.

I honestly don’t understand what you don’t understand.  “Connecting a specific college” would imply that they’re saying “I went to Yale *because* my mom packed my lunch” rather than “moms can pack lunches and kids can still be successful, here’s a sample data point”.

Clearly you wanted to get a dig in at these people, but you were wildly unsuccessful.  Sorry.[/quote]
