[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was that mom once.  It was a rough morning and I grabbed the wrong box of granola bars before I'd had my morning coffee.  I got a stern e-mail from the school and my kid had to starve (he's a picky eater and a granola bar is a significant portion of his lunch).  But the allergy kid didn't die, so that's good.  I felt legitimately bad about the whole thing.  I wasn't trying to kill anyone.[/quote]

That was me once, too.  except my kids' school isn't nut free.  They went to a camp that apparently was in a nut free school, and basically expected everyone to know.  (Most of the campers attended the school).  Guess who didn't know?  They completely flipped out on my then not quite 5 yr old DS when he was unwrapping his granola bar, and took away his whole lunch.  Not quite the correct reaction either.  While I certainly understand the need for nut free schools, I also think there is a place for some common sense.

He didn't return, and they did (very unwillingly) refund our money.[/quote]
