[quote=Anonymous]Our kitchen is out of commission for a week due to light renovation, so we are stocking foods we don't usually keep in the house to make getting lunches packed and out the door more easy. I'm talking specifically about snack packs of things like Fritos, etc. This is highly unusual for our family, as we generally keep it healthier, but I figured one week of convenience won't kill the kids.

So, today, in a rush, I pack the lunch. I grab the pack of Fritos for the snack because I couldn't find the apples, which were my first choice. 3rd grade DD hands them back to me and says, "Ms. Teacher won't let us have this kind of snack?" I asked, "What do you mean?" DD replied, "She doesn't want us to have junky food." I laughed and said, "what's she going to do, take it away from you?" And DD replied, seriously, "Yes."

WTF? Not to sound all Sarah Palin here, but who the hell does the teacher thing she is, regulating my child's nutrition?

Anyway, I spent 10 minutes looking for the apples and substituted, and kid missed the bus, and so I had to drive her to school. To say I'm annoyed is putting it mildly.
