A Hyer mom forwarded me this blast e-mail yesterday from the school regarding today’s Field Day events. She was amused by the suggestion to have a another parent bring lunch for your child if you can’t be there yourself. Anyway, don’t forget your sack lunch. Charles, can you take lunch for the 1st and 4th grades while you’re picking up the teacher’s fav meal?
Dear Hyer Parents,
Please note that the Family picnic is still scheduled for tomorrow along with field day. If you were planning to bring a lunch but can’t now due to the date change, please consider sending a sack lunch with your child. Our cafeteria will not be prepared to accommodate everyone. Donna usually orders less food on picnic day. You may also consider having another parent get your child’s lunch.
Um, well, I will be in attendance at Hyer’s Field Day, but I don’t think I’m prepared to make lunch. I do have a can of garbanzo beans in my pantry that no one ever eats.
My daughter loves garbanzo beans. Can you bring a can opener?
I am a single parent! How presumptuous of the school! Oh, I guess they could mean the parent of another child. Nevermind.
Man, I couldn’t even find the garbanzo beans. I was the lame parent who ran off to Boston Market to buy lunch for my child.
Charles, I was looking for you with the garbanzo beans. I was the sweaty one there on the picnic blanket. Oh yeah, that was everyone….
Jen, I saw many wonderful, sweaty women on picnic blankets. I would have said hello had I known it was you.
armstrong had chick fil a bring and parents prepay for lunch, easy!
