Pre-Thanksgiving Lunch Date

Today was the big Thanks- giving lunch at Braxton's school, so parents were invited to come and partake in the school lunch goodness. Let's just say the potatoes were okay and the banana that I got from the "sides" cart was good. Braxton has been talking about this for about a week and telling me how excited he was that I was coming to have lunch. Anyway, it seems the most important thing about lunch for Braxton and his friends is to eat it as fast as they can so that they can go out for recess. So, my little lunch date was cut short when my son looked up at me and said, "Mom, is it okay if I go and play with my friends now?" Who would say no to such a thing? So, I sat there and finished my lunch with the other moms who were also left by their sons. Did you know that girls actually look like they enjoy having lunch with their moms and don't seems to care about recess?!?! What a strange concept.
