Better to Laugh

I am training for a trail marathon in December, and I am trying to eat right, get in the miles, etc.  At lunch today, one of our first graders got to buy ala carte for the first time.  He was so excited!  They had drumstick ice cream cones today, and he has been wanting one for a long time.  He started to eat it from the bottom first, then he tried to eat around the crunchy stuff on top.  “I love ice cream!” he exclaimed as he licked his dripping cone.  It looked so good that I decided to splurge and get one.  I was trying to eat it inconspicuously when, from across the room, I hear his excited little cartoon voice yell, “Hey PE teacher, you got ala carte, too?”  At least my 2nd period health class was not in there to witness my consumption of food from the top of the food guide pyramid.
