So when my kid was in the first grade, we had to pack a snack for them to eat before lunch. I was not into snacks in my house. We pretty much waited meal to meal to eat and the meals were plenty to make it through the day. He always had a good breakfast before school and did not need a morning snack before lunch.
So I struggled to pack that snack. Most kids ate chips or cookies...we did not do that in our family and I did not want junk food around. I packed fruit and veggies but my son complained because everyone else was eating “good stuff” and he was stuck with healthy stuff. So I took half a peanut butter and banana (or apples, pears, etc.) sandwich and cut it into bite sized squares for him to have at snack time and that pleased him. Kids approved of his snack. I gave him the other half of his sandwich for lunch.
The dummy teacher yelled at me for giving him “lunch” at snack time and I told her to stop stuffing the children and wait for lunch for them to eat like normal people. :)
“I told her to stop stuffing the children and wait for lunch for them to eat like normal people. “
I went to Prep School, and we had “Milk and Crackers” at 10:15. We always called it “Milt and Crackers.”
