“Yes, sweetie? Did you bring the hairbrush?”
“Do you gots some more Peanut Butter Ripple Brownies?”
“Uh-huh—such pretty hair—why do you ask?”
“Um, can I have some in my lunch?”
“No, Lily, peanuts are not allowed at school, remember?”
“Oh…”
“How about after school—come, let’s get your coat.”

Hi Ghia. You would be surprised how North American schools prohibit anything with nuts in the school. So many kids are allergic to them now; it’s ridiculous.
