Young Master Gateau is about to start kindergarten, so yesterday in the mail we got the information packet that included things like lists of the numerous school supplies we are expected to provide for the use of the whole class (apparently, they no longer hand out crayons; each kid is expected to contribute two packs each to the collective supply -- woo hoo! all those anti-school budget folks who carried on about having their taxes raised in some Communist plot to educate someone else's kids had no idea they were fostering this kind of socialist crayon distribution collective).
Anyway, among all the lists and directives was the instruction that we're to provide a "healthy, not sugary snack" and a drink each day, along with lunch (the school cafeteria does not sell food until the end of September, WTF? God, I'm cranky.) Since YMG does not eat fruits or vegetables, or half the other things normal kids eat, such as yogurt, string cheese, Goldfish crackers, etc., I'm not quite sure how I'm going to deal with this one. So far I have come up with:
pretzels
pita chips
fresh mozzarella balls
bread with butter
um, probably something else if I try really, really hard
Oy, and school hasn't even started yet.

What the hell? They can't even give crayons to the kids?
That Chex Mix stuff might work. Not the kind with M&Ms in it. You could make your own too, as it's kind of fun to make.
We are asked to provide boxes of kleenex at my kids' school. After they share the crayons they need kleenex... :)
