Potatoe Chips, Healthy Monster Videos and VBS.....

Lorena has really been trying to emphasize to Dacia (4) and Saidee (2) about healthy eating. She bought a Healthy Monsters video which engages the kids in exercise and information about nutrition. They talk about what is a "healthy snack" and what is not a healthy snack. Fruit is healthy; chips are not. Saturday, Crosbyton had a one day VBS. At one of their breaks, they gave each child something to eat and drink. It so happened that they gave each child a small bag of chips. After opening the chips, Dacia immediately went to the trash can and poured them out while chanting, "Chips are not a healthy snack for us!" It wasn't long till several children followed suit, throwing away the chips and chanting, "Chips are not a healthy snack for us!"

The women helping out were naturally bewildered. I am sure it wasn't at all what they expected.

I guess we can always blame it on the video.

That's hysterical! What a great story.

Are you keeping a scrapbook of these, other than online?

I guess a scrapbook would be in order. Right now, this cyber-grandma is doing well to blog about it. : )
