Age old question: I've made my child's lunch but how do I know that they have eaten it?
Today my husband came up with and idea... lets put two toppings in the one sandwich to see if he knows what is inside the sandwich when he gets home.
So the test was that there was honey on the outside (a topping that rarely gets eaten) and then on the inside was Nutella (we knew he wasn't going to eat it, and there are no kids with nut allergies in his class so what was it going to hurt this once). Needless to say he thought it was Vegemite... sneaky little thing opened up his sandwich to see what was inside so when he was asked he would know.
So Mummy asks the question "What did Daddy put on your sandwich this morning"
The answer "Honey and Vegemite."
Daddy's response "Ha ha. Nope it wasn't Vegemite."
It was at this moment we knew the sandwich had gone straight in the bin...
Time for confession... Now this has occurred now there is no after school treat... but the rest of us are eating yummy treats... meanwhile he is eating a freshly made sandwich with those two toppings... oh what mean parents we are. Lets see who wins round two of the battle.
Thank goodness we put in other snacks to make sure he isn't going hungry.
