It's a travesty! A travesty I tell you!!

I was working with my lemon class on one of their books, in which the characters are talking about the sandwiches they eat. I have picture cards to go along with the book, including a tuna fish sandwich, pbj, cream cheese and jelly, steak, chicken salad, salami, etc. So we're going through the sandwiches, and trying to get the kids to identify which picture is which sandwich. I figured they probably wouldn't know the cream cheese and jelly one. But they had problems with the peanut butter and jelly. So I asked them how many had had a pbj. No one raised their hands.

NONE OF MY KIDS HAS EVER HAD A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH BEFORE!

I immediately assigned them homework. They are to eat a pb&j tonight when they get home.

I'm still shaking my head. No tooth fairy is one thing, but this is just wrong.

Wow. WOW. Wow.

I think I may just make some tomorrow morning and bring them with me, in case anyone forgets their homework. But yes, you get an A. :)
