Ah, the little monsters. Part of what makes Lynn’s work so delightful is the tiny moments of observation – children do love to make up little songs about themselves.
Why does saghetti come in soup bowls and the kids have to eat it with a spoon? Poor day care kids, I remember Canada had plastic forks back in the early 1990s. Have you ever tried eating spaghetti with a spoon? Kids can’t poke themselves with plastic forks. Besides the spaghetti looks more like peeled onions! Yummy.
I told kids who turned their nose up at food because they didn’t like the taste, " get over it. I caught you chewing on a stick outside today and a half hour ago you were sucking an a wet shoelace".
At my grandkids’s daycare center, the lunchtime motto was “We get what we get and we don’t get upset.” It was interesting to see how quickly new kids accepted this idea. I suppose part of that acceptance was the no-stress peer pressure when the new kid saw that everybody else had no problem with it and asked for seconds.

I wonder what April’s problem is with spaghetti? I always thought of spaghetti as a treat. (I make it from scratch. Not ready made from some jar.)

Preschoolers are like Labrador retrievers — sometimes it seems like they’ll eat everything except what they’re supposed to. :-D

April is in training for a career as a drug mule. She can move on to swallowing balloons full of heroin then take a flight into Canada.

“saghettis”? Over on The Family Circus, the kids eat “pasketti” and understand that is the plural form of the word.

If daycare workers are required to examine the contents of diapers and potty chairs, it’s no wonder it’s hard to find people willing to work there.
