A kid spikes another kid’s lunch with peanut butter cookie crumbs. A kid with a life-threatening peanut allergy. Is it wrong that sometimes I want to slap kids I don’t even know?

    It is so not wrong.

    Let’s just hope he learns from this, becomes a better person and they end up going to the Star Wars convention together.

    Ugh. I read about this the other day. This kid was probably related to one of the third graders who plotted to attack the teacher for daring to tell one of them not to stand on a chair. WTF?

    I seriously dislike children in all their forms.

    I read that article and I’m fucking appalled. When I was a kid I didn’t know anyone with food allergies and I never heard about it. And I never thought about it. When Alex started kindergarten we got newsletters from the school about how peanut products are banned strictly from school. It never, ever occurred to me until just now that children could poison each other this way if they didn’t realize exactly how deadly allergies can be.

    Now I know lots of people whose kids have various food allergies and sensitivities, and I’m grateful that I never had to worry about any of that stuff with Alex. He was intolerant to lactose as an infant, but that was easily worked around. I know people whose kids can’t eat wheat or dairy at all, and grocery shopping and finding affordable foods to eat is hard enough. And now parents have to worry that kids could POISON each other?

    That is absolutely horrifying.
