Honeydew Melon filled with Pasta Sauce for Lunch (Copy)

I am in a strange kitchen with my mom and she is making my daughter’s lunch for camp but she is doing a terrible job. I find my favorite vegetable peeler in a drawer and am so happy! I check what she has put in my daughter’s lunch box and see that she has put freeze dried apples in with canned fruit and the apples are absorbing all the moisture. There is a mini cucumber but she didn’t peel it and when I try peeling it I realize it is soft and rotten. My mom seems unbothered by her mistakes or my criticisms. She offers something new—half a honeydew melon with part of it scooped out and filled with chunky pasta sauce. There is a piece of plastic wrap over the melon so the sauce won’t spill out. I am horrified and baffled. I ask my mom how my daughter is supposed to eat that and my mom seems to think it will be fine.
