Little red oven

Kyle is obsessed (as he is with many things) with Mac & Cheese.

Heather makes the boys lunch for school each day, but had not given him Mac & Cheese (despite repeated requests). However, when he came home yesterday describing in depth how another boy had Mac & Cheese, and it was clear he was enormously jealous, Heather had to act.

According to Kyle, the Mac & Cheese was "streaming" and they made it hot "in a little oven" and the "little oven is red." He really really really really wants Mac & Cheese now because "I love it soooo much."

Heather dutifully made the requested delicacy and put it in both boy's lunches. When I dropped them off, I sidelined the teacher and told her about his m&c obsession - she knew about it. I told her that he had m&c for his lunch, and asked her how they heated it up - and that K had explained about the little red oven.

She smiled and said - we don't have anyway to heat it up - the other little boy had brought it in a thermos!
