At the beginning of last year my principal asked me to help out with breakfast duty the first week of school. Well after the first week, I just kept going back and helping out. I've never had lunch duty and I always eat in the library during my lunch, so I've never really watched the kids eat. So during my time on breakfast duty I made a few interesting observations.
First, with a handful of sausage links, I think I could rule that school. These kids are serious about their breakfast meats. As soon as they sit down, they start eyeing everybody else's tray. When they find someone who hasn't taken a bite of their sausage, they start with the question, "you gonna eat that?" This will be asked repeatedly by several kids. It's best to sit down and take a bite immediately so the other kids will leave you alone. I'm thinking about loading my pockets with sausage links and whipping them out throughout the day to keep the kids in line.
Second, have people completely stopped teaching their kids how to eat? I have noticed that when we have pancakes or waffles that the kids have no idea how to cut them up with their fork into bite size pieces. They wil either pick it up with their hands and eat it or they will stab it in the middle and pick the whole thing up, while tilting their head sideways to eat off the fork. Are people not making their kids eat right or are they only serving them foods they can eat with their hands?
ALL HAIL MRS. HONEY, THE SAUSAGE QUEEN!
