Fraudulent Vegetables

This morning was fraught with the same old tension, which I am not going to reiterate. The usual preteen vs new teen. I cannot say if anyone "won", we shall see if the stand off continues this evening. Gibbles is not eating her lunch as I have mentioned copiously. Today, was Pizza Day at school (she gets two pieces, which I think she eats), so I only sent her what she wanted in her lunch holder, but with a difference. . .I added fake vegetables. It is a joke. . .because I know that she has the opportunity to eat her pizza. I wouldn't have done it on another day. Maybe it will make lunches more fun, maybe she will anticipate Mommy giving her a surprise. We shall see what happens when she gets home. . .she was already angry at me for writing on a test "does she need more practice in her French skills?". That put her over the edge and she yelled at me for at least five minutes. I gave her a hug and then sent her off to school.
