Okay - I have an issue my children's school cafeteria. Evidently, when you are in kindergarten, you don't have alternatives or choices on the lunchroom food...while in 1st grade, if you don't like the main course, you have 1 choice (cheese sandwich) and in 2nd grade you have 2 choices (cheese sandwich or chef salad)...so while A could politely say "no thank you" to the salisbury steak and opt for other things, W was going to be forced to stare at this horrible awful thing that his daddy has described to him for years - this "urban legend" that he equates to the most horrible of horribles...on his very first day to eat in the school cafeteria. Why is that? They think kindergarteners can't make wise choices or what?
Anyways, luckily for W he had prepped his teacher that morning on the horrors of salisbury steak...our sweet teacher friend, who was walking W through as promised, asked the lunchroom ladies to give him a cheese sandwich instead...they refused at first since he was a kindergartener until she stressed the urgency of her request with all of the sterness a sweet kindergarten teacher can muster up...so W was SAVED from the salisbury steak by his new hero, Mrs. C. (insert super hero music and a costume w/tights and a cape here) Thank you, Mrs C!!! We love you! We are now armed with the cafeteria menu and will make every preparation next time to avoid the salisbury steak at all costs.
Hip hip hooray for Mrs. C (soon to be known as Mrs. Cheese Sandwich)! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something wrong with our school lunchrooms when ALL kids aren't offered a salad! I say it's age discrimination!
