I am a lunchroom supervisor for a local elementary school.. I HAVE seen it happen and I do correct that when I see it. As many children as there are in my lunchroom at a time it is hard to make sure everyone is (at the same time, mind you) doing what is right. Yesterday I say a child take their spoon and wipe, yes I said wipe, their FACE with the yogurt in the hot lunch choices then proceed to eat it. I separated them and today they ate like a little angel. They did it to get a rise out of the classmates at the table. It is NOT easy to take care of so many of your children at one time, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love them all. Yogurt and all. :0)

Oh, that makes me so sad for Noah! He sounds like a real sweet boy, kinda like I think Troy is going to be when he gets older.

You did the right thing.

Let me at the little brat. Nobody should be messing with that adorable boy.

Please, please make sure that Noah’s teacher knows what happened. As a retired kindergarten teacher, I was just so
sad to hear this had happened. I was not in the cafteria when my children ate lunch, so unless someone told me, I never knew when these kind of things happened, and I needed to know so I could comfort children like Noah and talk to the child who did it!

AWW! Just tell me where to send the BOX of Hostess for Noah!

What a wonderful way to deal with the situation though - you are such a great Mama!

I love this story. Not because of what happened to Noah, just to know there are other kind-hearted children out there. My son is in Kindergarten too & he has come home with a few stories that have broken my heart as well. We take the same approach with using it as a lesson in always being kind to others, etc. I also love the fact that your first instinct was to kick some butt. That just cracked me up because I’ve experienced all of those same exact thoughts. Thanks for sharing your story, Noah sounds like the kid I would want my kid to be friends with!!!

Ugh. Don’t smash ho-ho’s! Thank you for posting this. BB has been getting picked on by a few other boys in preschool. I’ve been trying to explain why we’re still nice and still kind (and still tell a teacher) even if people are mean.

I hope he gets to eat his ho-ho next time.

Hubby saw the title, and gasped. This is a crime to him I guess.

I think you did the right thing. Sitting here, I wanted to kick some Kindergarten tail too. Mean little girl. Teaching him that some people just need an extra touch of nice is a wonderful thing.
