Tonight was Christmas evening at our son’s school. There’d be a class play and then carols sung by the children. The girl’s parents were asked to bring something sweet and the boy’s something salty. I wanted to bring something that everybody would eat but I also had to work all day so didn’t have the time to bake. “Cheese” popped into my head and since there’s a grocery store right in front of the school I decided that would be my choice.
Evan wasn’t in agreement. He wanted to me to buy potato chips or focaccia. I told him that’s what everybody always brings and that if we brought something new they might like it. He assured me that it was a “gross” choice for kids and that nobody would eat it.
I cut three huge hunks of parmesan and Swiss into bite size pieces and stuck toothpicks in them. I put it down on the table next to the mini pizzas and chips. It was all gone within 2 minutes. Evan apologised and said I’d been right. I guess he doesn’t take after his father after all… he he.
Nothing appealed to me (I know, shocking!) so I decided to not partake and eat when I got home. I mingled with a glass of sparkling water.

I hope the extra bullet points made my post look more substantial and disguised my Thursday night brain-numbness. Tomorrow is a new day!
