Boycotting Chicken of the Sea!

In case you have forgotten, a 3rd grader's lunch is a big deal.  Kaitlin loves tuna - plain, no mayo, no pickles, etc. (YUK!) but that is how she took it in 2nd grade when she took tuna cups in her lunch.  This week, I asked her if she wanted to buy her lunch or take a tuna cup in her lunch.  She picked the tuna cup. 

When I got home from work, she was really upset and told me she could "NEVER take tuna to school again!"  When I asked why, she proceeded to explain that all kids made fun of her and told her she was eating CAT FOOD (it does look like the same cups with the pull off top!) and that it stunk and they all got up and moved to another table and they left her all by herself! I knew it must have been pretty traumatic as giant crocodile tears welled up in her eyes :(

She begged me to come to school for lunch today….I told her we would see and then I forgot that we put my car in the shop this am….so at the last minute, I borrowed a co-worker's car, grabbed 2 chicken sandwiches from the kitchen at work, 2 bags of doritos, and ran out the door to make in time for her lunch break.

She was BEAMING when she saw me walk in…I love being a Mom! She was so sweet, I told her to go get us a drink, so she came back from the line with 2 milks, and two itty bitty salads with ranch so we could be healthy – she loves the school’s salad – lol.



Needless to say, the only tunafish she will probably eat until she is 18 will now be consumed secretly in the confines of our home.
