SAY IT ISN'T SO!!

I found out something disturbing today. As you may have heard, high schools across the city are becoming "junk food" free zones. Gone are the greasy fries from the cafeteria, the chips and candy bars, and pop vending machines. Healthier choices are now available for the kids.
I embraced this practice and send AJ to school with a well balanced lunch. Brain food if you will. I feel good as a parent for helping to enforce the school's efforts to reduce childhood obesity.
Then I read about these delinquent teenagers who are "dealing" pop and candy in the halls of the schools. Some peoples' kids. Sheesh! I was kind of annoyed. As if these kids can't make it through a day without large doses of sugar. AS IF!!

Today I found out that my little treasure is one of the "dealers" at Elmwood High. (hangs head in shame)

His buddy filled me in on his new career as smuggler, dealer, probably USER of forbidden substances.

I was surprised, but probably shouldn't have been, as this is the same kid who sold all his halloween candy in 5th grade. Made a killing too.
So he buys pop cheap and sells it for an inflated price to sugar junkies. And lines his pockets with dirty money...

We chatted about it and decided it should be the end of his bootlegging. He really didn't see any harm. It's just root beer right? Well yes, but its also breaking rules and diminishing school spirit.

Whats next, moonshine and mary jane? Good Grief. That boy.

Another day, another dilemma! Such is the life of a mamabear.
