Two of the boys are required to mark their lunch with a "contains nuts" sticker if their lunchbox contains anything with nuts. They are not allowed to take any snacks to school that contain nuts. Nut allergies, you know. And even though I don't think they even need a snack at school so much as another recess, we don't complain. We just do as we're told. And we count our blessings they haven't completely outlawed peanut butter at lunchtime because Denver doesn't eat anything but peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Anyway, the other morning I was packing the kids lunches and it just so happens that spaghettios don't contain nuts. So I removed the "contain nuts" sticker and slapped it across Denver's forehead. We all had a good chuckle and then Hunter slapped it across his forehead. Again we laughed and suggested he wear it to school and see what his teacher thinks. And he did. Proudly. And according to Hunter, more than his teacher got a good laugh that morning. And the only thing is, I wish I had as much confidence as Hunter. He's goofy and nutty and proud of it and I think that's a great way to be.
