What I learned in the cafeteria this week
~Kids will say the darndest things. This week I heard one 2nd grader say to another 2nd grader "Hello my brother from another mother." An aide was also asked by one kindergartner if she would move another kindergartner to a different table because "he has willy smelly bref."
~I don't care what the naked chef says freeze dried mashed potatoes rock. At school we get these tiny little kernels of mashed potatoes in a bag. You add water and in minutes you have mashed potatoes. These aren't the flakes...these are magic mashed potato balls.
~It's my stem. This was a phrase I said over and over on the day I decided to wear a jack-o-lantern shirt and a "stem" on my head.
~Drop a tray day. This week seemed like it was drop a tray day everyday. I think we are going to have to start adding at least an extra five into the daily count to make up for the "Oh nos" and the "Ought ohs..."
~Kids know how to cheer you up. Even on days when you think everyone around you SUCKS. Little kids (and co-workers who care) can really cheer you up.
What did you learn this week?

- I'm a 41 year old (gasp) freelance writer, school cafeteria manager, wife and mother. I have three children and one anxious and overweight beagle. I use my blog to make others laugh, to share some cool crafts, to document my lunchlady adventures and to lament about the challenges faced by us all on the journey called life. Thanks for visiting. Please leave some crack...um...I meant some comments.

I've always said, we teach our children, but it looks like they may teach us a thing or two as well...lol
I agree completely about kids cheering you up. There's nothing like working at an elementary school, right?
I'd just die laughing if I heard that "brother from another mother." Glad the kids could cheer you up!
It's great that the kids know how to keep you smiling :) It's a tough job, but you give so much to those lucky kids.
I love "it's my stem."
