Dear Families,
Our 11 year old son was saying things which seemed to me to have a generally negative turn to them. Jonah told us he had overheard us having a disagreement, and that's why he was now negative. I remembered reading in Raising Happiness that if children see you reconcile with your partner,that really helps mitigate any harm they experience. I told my son that Tim and I had made up after our argument, and were fine now. He seemed to perk up.
SEND FRUIT FOR OUR COMMUNAL FRUIT SALAD
On Thursday and Friday we will assemble a fruit salad with the kids using the fruit you send in. Organic preferred!
THIS WEEK'S SNACK
A.M.: hummous, chips and carrots or celery (Mon-Wed). Snack on Thurs and Fri will be fruit salad
P.M.: dates
Okay, my friend shared this with me for the first part of the letter, which is just way too much information, and also veers very close to an admission of make-up sex without actually saying it. Or am I reading too much into it? Anyway, I continued with some other components of this newsletter because two OTHER things completely grossed me out besides the over-sharing:
1) communal fruit salad prepared by preschoolers
a) of course organic is preferred. Why did that need to be mentioned?
b) Why isn't this just called germ salad or immune booster salad?
2) dates
a) ewww
b) no non-Hellenic (and I do mean from ancient Greece) toddler has ever like dates, because no one does, and also, aren't they a choking hazard? I guess its better than the toddler-prepared fruit salad they will be getting in the mornings
Thanks for oversharing, guest blogger!
