....about the giant strawberry?!

[KentMum2008]

Total first world problem I know, and I'm defo more irritated by this than I should be, but...
I got some amazing strawbs from the market, seriously huge and really sweet. I put one in DS lunch box and it filled a whole compartment (one of those sistema lunch cube thingys)
DS comes out of school and says one of the lunchtime supervisors said to him 'what a mean mummy, only giving you one strawberry. You'll have to ask her for more tomorrow' I know the woman in question she's one of the mum's in DDs class so I jokingly said to her 'I hear you think I'm a bit of a meanie' in case DS was making it up.
I shit you not, she said to me 'well that's terribly mean only giving him one strawberry, that's not enough to fill a growing boy' She was deadly serious too.
For reference, the strawb in question is below. Pretty large, and accompanied by a sandwich, a chunk of cucumber, a babybel and a yoghurt. She would have been at his table from the beginning of lunch so she'll have seen what was in there to begin with. They do a cursory sweep for contraband at the beginning of lunch every day.
Was I BU to say to her 'you're not the lunchbox police Linda, save your concern for the kids with a sausage roll and a can of Coke'?
Because her face was , you'd think I'd just slapped her....

Wtf is a stunt pineapple? I must have missed that gem.

[QuestionableMouse]

In ye olden days, pineapples used to be rather expensive so people would hire one to show off when they had guests.

Here's another thread about a giant strawberry too lol

[KentMum2008]

Never did send DS with one blueberry.....in fact I was really compliant and put regular sized fruit in the kids lunches right up until the end of term. I did send DS with a massive apple one day, and had a vision in my head of Linda shaking her head at how silly it is to overwhelm an 8 year old with fruit the size of his head.

Never got my lanyard either....
