Just Say No to Peer Pressure!

Lovey apparently had an enticing snack in her lunch box today! So much so that the girl sitting next to her wanted some! (animal crackers have major appeal apparently). Since there are different allergies in the school, there has always been a firm, "no sharing" rule in all the classes. I'm pretty sure the other girl is aware of it, as is Lovey. So the request was declined. The request was repeated a few times and Lovey just kept saying no and told her that she wasn't allowed because it's against the rules. No problem! "just pass it to me under the table, the teacher won't see!!!" Lovey stood her ground and said she wouldn't do it because it's wrong.

Holy crap we ARE teaching them stuff!!!

I was very impressed with her because the other girl was probably right, the teacher most likely wouldn't catch the sleight of hand and no one would know. Lovey had plenty of cookies in her package and had we been at the park or having a playdate anywhere else, would have gladly shared (not sure if this would be the case if there was only ONE....).

And since the other girl had already had 3 snacks out of her own lunchbox, I'm pretty sure she wasn't starving, as it was only recess snack, not lunch time!!!!

Lovey, Mummy & Daddy are proud of you for doing the right thing!
