SOME MOTHERS have told me that they cried all morning
the day their last offspring toddled off to Grade 1. I recall a

different approach.

For the first time in 10 years 1
could climb into a bathtub without
some kid barging in, screaming,
“Mommeceece **\so I filled up
the tub with bubbles. 1 left the
bathroom door wide open so |
could hear my favorite music, and
| sipped a glass of wine in celebra-
tion. All that ar 9 acm.

So, if you're prone to tears, fill
the bathtub and rejoice in the fact
that you've got 12 veurs of school
lunches to look forward to.

made with organic seeds and grains
and sprouted. It's made by a
Richmond, B.C. firm —  atso

for a 450g loaf.

It's a well-known fact, especially
to teachers that half of all school
lunches end up in the garbage (or
on the floor).

A few years ago, | polled a
group of teenagers — my daugh-
ters and their friends — about
what NOT to pack in lunches.

Here are the results:

e Anything that smells. That
eliminates egg sandwiches,
tunafish and anything with garlic.

© Messy foods. A sloppy sand-
wich won't be eaten and most
oranges never vet peeled. Cut
sandwiches in small pieces so your
kid isn’t embarrassed to eat it in
public.

® Forget anything that has to be
assembled or takes longer to peel
than a banana.

Once, on an economy kick, | in-

Barbara's number one rule when
shopping for lunchbos fillers:
Never buy individual servings of
fruit or custards without investing
in a package of disposable spoons.
