Gastro show in our school

[wiseheart]

This is something that actually happened last Thursday, but I was too brain-dead to make a report. But it was so funny, it deserves to be told.

So, we have these annual "ecology week" at school, in which the kids collect old paper, used batteries and stuff, make posters about healthy food and environment pollution and the likes. This was not the first year when they had the chance to actually *produce* said healthy food, but it was the biggest such show we've ever had.

Each class had a table, where they presented their stuff, and we (the teachers) got the chance to walk around, try everything and then vote for the best class. There was a shocking amount of food (I had to think of ithilwen's leftovers), and most of it was actually very good. We were joking about how half the teachers won't be able to come to work in the next day, because of their upset stomachs, but we all survived, after all.

When we have given our votes, the kids finally could fall over the rests. The children's choir had just finished their weekly rehearsal in the nearest room (we are talking about some 70 kids between the age of 8-14 here!), and they were all very hungry. The result reminded me of those medieval feasts when people sit around endlessly long tables and eat until they get sick. (No, nobody got sick!!!)

Anyway, it was great fun as long as it lasted, and what's even better, I wasn't the one who had to deal with the dirty dishes afterwards. Yay!

We suggested to organize such shows every time we have an all-afternoon meeting, but the colleague who had to work with it looked very evilly at that.

Sounds like a good day was had by all except the collegue who do the organising, and those who had to wash dishes later!

There was not much washing to be done - the age of paper plates and plastic cups be blessed. ?)

Indeed, plastic is a marvelous substance!
