Let them Eat Cake!

First of all just looking for a picture of chocolate cake has sent me into a chocolate fit! I want it, I crave it, but I am going to be a good little girl and not go to the bakery and purchase the biggest, most delectable and chocolaty piece of cake ever! For now.
Zach: The lunch lady says I need more money for my lunches.
Me: What? I just sent a check last week. I know they cashed it, so how could you possible be out of money all ready?

Z: I don't know, that's what she just told me.
M: Well I need to get to the bottom of this.

Thank goodness for technology! So off I go to my computer and check his account balance, sure enough, they had the check but he was out of money. What the ? So they actually have a place that I can click on to see what my child has been spending on his lunches. So I decide to see what's up. Click. I scroll and I scroll, then something catches my eye. My dear little son decided that for the past week he was going to have chocolate cake everyday for dessert! Wow, he was putting me in the poor house with cake! I nearly fell off my chair laughing, because I can just see his little eyes light up with the thought that he could have chocolate cake everyday for lunch, and just devouring it as though it were the last meal of his life! Of course by now you must realize that cake is an a la carte item at the school. Which means it doesn't come with the meals i have pre-paid for, it's extra. I guess no one could ever accuse him of not being a kid. I probably would have done the same thing if I were in his position, or if they would have served lunch at my school. I did have to tell him that he could only have cake on special occasions and that he could not have it everyday. He innocently asked "Why?" and I told him that the cake was not part of the lunch it was extra. "Why would they put it out with the lunch then?" I wanted to say that the lunch people know that little kids don't realize what a la carte means and if kids keep buying stuff like that then the parents have to fork over more money! It's a conspiracy man. But I refrained and just told them that they were there for special occasions, like some ones birthday or a parent visiting for lunch. But I like the consiracy idea much better.
