Usually when I pick up Nariah from school, she tells me whether or not she ate all of her lunch. Well this day was different, she made no mention of food at all. I grab her things from the cubby and notice her lunch bag was opened. Looking inside I see her strawberries were uneaten and it felt like there was still some spaghetti in her thermos.
“Nariah… you didn’t eat all of your lunch?”
As you read her response, imagine my child with this overwhelmed look on her face, rolling her eyes wide, and juggling her hands around in circles.
“Daddy… there….. I mean….. there… was just soooooooo much food…. I didn’t know what to do! I…. I…. just didn’t know what to eat!”
It took awhile for the teacher and I to stop laughing.
Sometimes Nariah forgets we pack extra “snack food” in case she doesn’t like the snacks they serve.
