I'm really baffled...

Patience has a classmate that has a parent that is a teacher.
Not saying which parent here. Because I do not want to say to much.

Anyway it just surprizes that the parent eats lunch with their child everyday and they inquire about Patience lunch. At first I thought it was just polite conversation. But then it got to the point the person would say wow you eat fruit everyday. You really eat healthy Patience. And Patience response was : Arent we supposed to?

All the while their child is sitting there eating cookies, chips, candy bar.
It just surprizes me the parent is a Well educated person!!! I mean they have a degree in educating children. And feed own child junk!!!

I could understand if they lacked education. Anyway...trying not to say to much. I think it is perfectly legal to add tibits of Patience life and her reactions without getting sued...LOL

I just love the fact Patience said :Arent we supposed to. Like it came natural to her.

Patience spent the night with Memaw

OK let me say this : My parents have alot of junk food at their house!!!!
The typical American cupboard though. They buy soda, they buy chips, they buy
ice cream. But my parents really do not have a weight problem so their belief is
Eating in moderation will not hurt her.Their misconception is if it is labeled "Diet"
Then it should not hurt!!! Saying it once more,The stuff is garabage!!

I called to see how the girls were and My mom said they were fine. Patience had just
gotten finished with a snack half a apple and cheese slice.
Which is a OK snack. Then she said she offered her some crackers. But Patience refused. My moms idea of a cracker is ritz, yes the buttery kind!!!

I let it slip out of mouth when I said Good girl Patience...LOl
My mom was silent. Of course wheat cracker would have been fine, but we just try to get her used to the idea of having a fruit for snack with almonds or maybe cheese every now and then.

I just think my mother is sursprised at Patience devotion . I could tell she may have been alittle annoyed that Patience refused the cracker . Annoyed with me. Thinking we are strict or something. But I have to say WTG Patience.
Its not about moderation, its about how her body will react to the food.

Anyway I love my parents, this is about how Patience reacted Good job my girl
The lessons she has been taught at home carry her when she is away from home.
