I noticed today that his lunch box is empty and he informed me he had eaten it all.
I have always read the letters, tried to put very healthy stuff in ds's lunch box but over the past few weeks he's gone off stuff and when I've asked him why it turns out that one of the lunch time assistants has quizzed my ds on the contents of his lunch box and he's been too embarassed to eat it thereafter. She's said stuff like:
"What on earth have you got there?" Black olives and houmous I think that time
"EEEww that doesn't look very plesant to eat does it?" (fruit bar thingie)
"What are they? I wouldn't eat those, ha ha" (chickpeas)
He told me this a few days ago and it was verified by another parent when I asked her (who works there too)
I know it's a bit childish but in a fit of pique I packed for him today:
Cheese on white bread sandwich
Twix
packet of quavers
small chocolate cake
a jelly
With a small notes telling them what I thought about the comments made.
Ok everything had gone and ds thinks all his christmases had come at once.
Was it really bad?
