out of the mouths of babes

As a new first-grader, Christian has been learning the rules and procedures of the lunchroom. He has told us all about the lunchroom "cones." These are orange parking cones that the lunch lady places on a table when the children at that table are not having proper lunchroom behavior. When said cone is place on your table, you have to sit for a period of time before being excused to recess.

Today, Christian walked in the door and announced that his table got "the cone of shame." I tried hard not to laugh as I asked where he heard that from. He told me that he chose the name. A fitting name, I think.

Orange cones have always been annoying on the road, helpful on the soccer and football field and now -- thanks to an inventive lunchroom lady -- motivating at school. I love the name Christian chose.

It's a good thing that they didn't put orange cones on lunchroom tables when Sean and Mike where in elementary school, they would have never been able to got out to recess!!
