You know, I guess I never really thought of asking for no outside food to come in through contract, just seems silly, but if it causes frustration on my part, its worth it. I think I will do that. It just bugs me and cant explain exactly why......sometimes when kids come in with food they kind of give a look to the others (when the others are eying it up) and with a snobby look on their face, they say something like "this is mine" or "you cant have any" uuuuugh!!! just makes me want to grab it from their hands and say, "neither can you!" and throw it in the garbage. maybe it create a "spoiled" mentality? maybe thats why it bothers me so.
