Pizza and Corn

After patiently waiting two weeks (as was suggested by the Plano staff), I went to school and lunched with Karson today. Our lunch was the greatest meal ever invented by the school system, the classic staples PIZZA AND CORN! I didn't want to sport my camera and cause embarassment so there are no photos in this post. However, I did come across a google image that resembled what I ate today (minus the pretzel and fruit cocktail). Karson's class was lined up, ducktails and bubbles, outside the lunchroom when I arrived. I quickly took my cue from the teachers and lined up with Karson. We got our trays, fork, milk, fruit (I chose pears and Karson chose oranges), pizza and corn. Each child is assigned a lunch number which they keep until they are seniors in high school. As we approached the check out lady, I heard Karson say her number which we recited a couple times at home. I knew the number was correct, and the lady kept saying it wasn't. She asked for Karson's last name and was having trouble finding her in the system. By this time, I decided to stick my nose in and help out =). I told the lady that I was sure the number was right, but she told me some of the numbers overlapped others and had to be changed. Karson's was one of them. I had her write the new number down so we could practice it at home. After the number fiasco, we took our seats at the table. Karson told me everyone's name at the table. I enjoyed ever minute of the conversations I had with Karson and the other children there. We talked about a number of things ranging from when our birthdays were, what kind of car we drive, does Karson walk/ride the bus/or car ride to school, would I be going to recess with them, where is Karson's nana and does she have one.....etc. It was the MOST fun! I'm looking forward to our next lunch date. Maybe I'll try the chicken rings next????
