My School Rocks Even More
Finn’s still pumped up about the advantages of the junior high over the elementary school. It must be that the lunchroom ladies at the elementary school were ferocious ogres, or maybe those at the junior high moonlight as Playboy centerfolds. Whatever the reason, Finn is even more impressed with them than he is the huge selection of beverages in the lunchroom.
“I mean, last year those ladies were so mean. They’d just slap food on your plates and God forbid if you asked them a question.”
“What happens if you ask them a question?” Porter asked. He eats everything and would never think to ask questions about his food.
“They’d be all like, Every time you come through this line you ask me if there’s cheese on that sandwich. I don’t know if there is or not. Now take it or leave it and go sit down.”
“What are your lunch ladies like?” Drew asked.
“Well, they’re much prettier, and I bet if you asked them that, they’d say, Oh, let me put on my plastic gloves so I keep everything extremely sanitary and then they’d lift up the corner of the sandwich and check it out and say, well honey, I see some cheese and it appears to be provolone, and would you care for this sandwich today?”
Finn sat back, reveling in the marvelousness of this, the junior high.

What’s *not* to love about Donkey making waffles in the morning? And, you know that everyone loves parfait!
Our school system here delineates grades for elementary up to fifth grade. Sixth, seventh, and eighth are middle school. High school is ninth and on. Offspring was so happy to move schools last year that she was all about the transition. This year, she’s not looking forward to going back just because it means that she has to follow a schedule, and can’t play the Wii all day. I’m not really looking forward to this year, either. (sigh.)

They’re bound to have a mystery meat day in there somewhere, and he’ll come home asking you to pack his lunch the next day!

As a lunchlady myself, I find the comments hilarious. I am always hearing things like…..will it kill me if I eat it? I tell them I will be sure to send flowers if it does~

As long as Wednesday is still fried chicken day, they’ll be alright.
I don’t recall the staff being so beautiful. Back in the day, I think I could have fit inside the average lunchroom lady’s arm.

My children always ask about the cheese just to get a rise from the the lunch ladies. They want me to send a variety of cheeses to the lunchroom for Christmas. Maybe I should wrap it in plastic gloves. Loved this post.
