Plastic Plates & Conversation
Lunch for a school age child, is a major part of the schoolday. It is a time for the exchanging of corny jokes and anecdotes, for talking with those that you don't get a chance to see during the day, and lastly for getting that nourishment one needs to sustain them through the remainder of the school When you are in elementary school lunch to you is that forty minute break everyday where the teacher makes you stay seated and quiet, while you eat your lunch off of that hard plastic tray. Lunch for an elementary schooler means food that is mainly prepared by the school and few other options, save packing. You eat your highly nutritious lunch with an actual metal fork and drank that cartoned milk that always tastes strangely reminiscent of cardboard. The teachers that you come to lunch with all sit at two very lon
lunches of their younger life. One may find themselves resent 'food' the lunch ladies fix and tell them so, the lunch eat where ever they please--More often you can find them in tables at the opposite end of the cafeteria; as they eat they are cafeteria doors where she expects a single file line to be to remain quiet while eating. What a difference that makes.
