I went to school and had lunch with Josh today because it's his birthday. Having lunch with all those Kindergarteners sure was entertaining. They're so... wiggly! And happy! And talky!
And once again I was very impressed with the lunch ladies at Wea Ridge Elementary. They are so nice and helpful, and you can tell that they really care about the kids. They don't let the kids get away with anything, but they also provide lots of attention and help. They're great.
On the menu today was "Texas Straw Hats". Going in, I had no idea what these were or what to expect, but they turned out just to be something akin to nachos: tortilla chips, seasoned ground beef, and refried beans and a banana on the side. Looking down the long lunch table I noticed two things: all the kids get either chocolate milk or strawberry milk (not the boring "regular" milk), and none of the kids even touched their refried beans. None. Well, that's not true - the little hispanic boy who sat across from me took a few meager bites, but I suspect he's probably used to better at home. (What?! Not racist - just truth. Plus, I asked him. He said he "didn't like this [the school's] kind".)
My favorite part, though, came during a conversation with Josh about the recess that follows lunch. We were discussing what he usually does and what he had planned for that day. He was chattering on and then, out of the blue said:
"Well, first, at the beginning all the girls chase me around in circle. And I like it."
Oh Josh. My little six-year-old ladies' man!
