[quote=svelte] Let me tell you what a school here in San Diego does (or did). We sent our child to Jr High with a bottle of water with his lunch. Sealed, unopened.
We got a call saying it was confiscated. ??? Why, we asked. They said that kids are not allowed to bring water to school because it could be Zima.
I won’t go into the snappy retorts we had to that one…[/quote]
And you have the nerve to call yourself a parent!!
This wouldn’t have happened if you had simply stopped thinking of your own selfish needs long enough to put a couple of cans of Mountain Dew in your child’s lunch instead.
Not only would your child not had the humiliating experience of everyone knowing that he had WATER in his lunch, but his educational experience would have been enhanced by the large amounts of caffeine in Dew. And you and your wife could feel good, knowing that your actions were helping to support the dental care industry in your area.
Everybody wins when you strive to be just a little less self-involved, svelte.
