Silly, but: DS's new school had a field day yesterday, but they called it a "Jellybean Jubilee." In addition to games, there was a large jar of jellybeans for the kids to guess the number and everything was themed with jellybeans. But the kids were not given any jellybeans to eat! Even the kid who guessed the number of beans in the jar got a non-candy prize. For chrissakes, name it something else if you are so against kids having sugar. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Do you think that these are the only two options for kids to have a field day? It doesn't have to be associated with candy at all. [ Reply | More ]
