In the first place, babies don’t eat all that stuff. Toddlers and preschoolers might, to some extent, although I’ve had children who couldn’t successfully chew and swallow any foods until over two years old.
And in the second place, I don’t believe for a moment that the regulations for a government-funded daycare allowed preschoolers to serve themselves from home-style cooked foods. I think this is a pure fiction, pretty much like Michelle’s entire life is.
And now, I have a lot of sweet potatoes to cook, mash, and freeze while they’re $.20 a pound!
You're right. I assumed she was using the term "babies" in the broad sense (!) in which people often refer to all little humans.
Speaking of sweet potatoes, I should get going on my own before the morning's gone.
