I'm not sure the subject matter of the two posts should actually be placed side by side. Is it in poor taste?


Oh well.


Sam's school has been doing a section on food, specifically fruits and vegetables. They're trying to introduce different types of foods to the kids, things they aren't ordinarily going to eat. One week parents were asked to bring in red or green fruits and vegetables, the next orange and blue, and this week yellow and purple. Now, I think they should have combined the colors in a manner other than by selecting opposite colors on the color wheel because red and green? Those are really easy. Blue? Not so easy. Purple, more possible but still, all the really tasty stuff seems to fall in the red and green category.

I wish I could be there when I see the kids eating the different things the parents bring in though. They should have a collage of funny expressions when kids eat challenging particularly challenging food.


I am ready and willing to contribute to the challenge. For the red days I brought in cranberries, fresh and, because I'm also somewhat nice sometimes, dried sweetened cranberries as well. I'd like to see cranberry face though. It would likely look something like this:
Then on blue day I'm sure someone brought in blueberries but I brought in a lonely blue potato we'd gotten in the share. Blue foods cause strange reactions in kids although they'd never admit it. It makes them grumpy.

And crazy, perhaps at the same time.
Yellow and purple though? By that time I'm sure they were so sick of tasting fruits and vegetables their reaction was more like this:
"I'm not tasting something I've never had and you can't make me!"
