It's always time for pie...



Every morning in preschool we read the two lunch choices to 16 wiggly four year olds and as they hand in their folders and library books they can tell us what their lunch choice is for the day...

One day a few weeks ago the choices were Shepherds Pie or a Hot Dog.
The children came up one by one and made their choices... a few hours later the eagerly anticipated lunch cart rolls into our room (there isn't a cafeteria at our school).

Little feet run to the sink to wash hands and grab seats at the teeny tables. Styrofoam (ugh.) containers plop down on tables and hungry bellies growl.

Mekhi, who chose Shepherds Pie, pops open his lunch container and scoots back from the tablel in confusion at what he sees.
He looks up at the adults in the room and says, "Where the heck is my PIE!"

Poor guy. I'd like pie for lunch too.
