When parents teach kids to be lawbreakers

At the beginning of this term, Pudd’ng’s school drew up a snacks’ timetable, which all pupils are supposed to follow. In fact, below the piece of paper that Pudd’ng came home with were the words, “Parents and pupils must strictly follow this timetable”.

Basically, there are three foodstuffs that pupils are supposed to carry for snacks, on a rotation basis, which is outlined in the timetable: bread, mandazi and fruits. Our daughter glued the timetable in the kitchen, on the wall near the table, because that is the place where she cannot miss to see it.
