Now normally my lovely sweet agreeable child likes cream cheese and jelly together. This day, she decided that it was gross, after they were made and packed. I told her I didn't have time to change it (mostly true) and that we shouldn't waste food.

There was much drama.

Off to school she went. When she came home, every last one was still in there. Little beasty is ok with going hungry to prove her point apparently.
