Lunch at Tiger Town

Something you discover in sixth grade: Mommy is not really welcome at school. Certainly not when she's going around calling herself "Mommy." OMG!

So, when you get an invitation... to actually come to school... when there's actual kids around... you know it's a big deal.

All sixth-graders take a rotation of classes that are kind of like the "home ec" and "shop" that we remember. FACS stands for Family and Consumer Sciences. The big finale of the class was making a mock restaurant. They named theirs "Tiger Town." (Mizzou's mascot is the tiger.)

Emilyn was the hostess... She needs to work on her people skills, though, because she hustled me out to wait in the hall! ("We're not open yet!!" Maybe she wouldn't have done that to someone who wasn't her "Mommy." heeheehee)

The menu consisted of pretzel sticks (in three flavors), pizza (cheese or pepperoni) and chocolate-dipped pretzels (white or milk).

Everything was very tasty and very filling. Our water glasses were always promptly filled. They anticipated an overflow crowd, but really didn't get one. So I wish Daddy and Allen could have come along. I brought them a doggie bag of chocolate-dipped pretzels.
