It has come to my attention that my son’s Kindergarten teacher wants to eat his lunch. Not kidding.
My son announced yesterday ‘Mom, Mrs. C wants to eat my lunch.’
I replied ‘Oh, do you mean that Mrs. C likes that you eat all your lunch?’
Her said, ‘No Mommy, she wants you to take her grocery shopping so she can have food you give me for lunch’
That gave me the giggles and puffed up my chest with pride.
When I saw Mrs. C this morning, I said ‘So, you want to eat my son’s lunch eh?’
Mrs. C said ‘You pack a great lunch and I always get bored with my ideas.
This is for you Mrs. C.

This is so cute! But I agree with Mrs. C – I’d eat that fabulous salad any day! Love everything it in – a fave! But I am so impressed your small son eats that happily for lunch! Yay, mom!

Like the previous commenter, I agree that this is awesome on so many levels. Your son eats shrimp! Wow!
Curt says
Man, that looks delicious. I could take that for lunch anytime.
That’s great that your son’s teacher wants your recipes, but even better, your son certainly is learning to eat the right foods and not grow up like so many at that age to be a picky eater!
