LOL. Yep, sometimes peanuts are a deadly weapon, for those who are allergic(no laughing matter). If my grand daughter had done it I guarantee we’d be reporting to school.

She’s an independent gal, determined to get her way, thinks she’s as much a first class citizen as the teachers, and isn’t particularly motivated by their approval.

I have zero trouble with her. We have a few rules. She has work to do, and she gets a pay off when it’s done. She gets off the bus, tells me just once(tone must be without whining) how much she hates school, and sits down and gets the homework done without even being told.

Then she’s free to watch TV, eat supper, play, chat with me or use the computer.

Her aunt takes her for an outing once a week. She never has trouble either. When the other kids start acting up, she doesn’t join in, but if they pick on her, she stands up for herself in spades which is not a bad thing per se, but she probably needs to practice a covert response or learn to turn the other cheek. School was never this much trouble with my kids (sigh).

I grew peanuts last year as an experiment. Boy, did they ever grow! We got about 1/8 bushel out of 6 plants, and the Mrs still pulls peanuts out of that raised bed.
Use caution. They can be invasive. They took over the entire 10' x 10' bed.
