Joey has balls.  Today is pizza day at school, when the school offers the kids pizzas at lunch.  Joey cannot eat it so we will send him in with a lunch.  We have also been telling him that pizza isn't really very healthy.  We said that we would speak to the Director, Deb Peters, but Joey said he would do it himself.  We advised his teacher that he wanted to do this.  Here is the correspondence with Mrs H;

 He didn’t seem to want to talk to James.  Joey  said that he wasn’t the appropriate person to speak with.  Watch out world! Wow.

Thanks. Let's hope that he has inherited a few of Gery's diplomatic skills.

Joey told me that he wanted to speak with Deb.  I told him that he could do so at snack time.  However I just found out that the Peters went to Morocco!  If James has time Joey can speak with him.

Steffannie,

I have sent in lunch for Joey because he can't eat the pizza and he didn't want me to take him out today. He was quite upset that the school serves food that is unhealthy for all the students and inedible for those on diets like Bruce and him.  I said that I would speak to Deb Peters about the issue to see if something could be resolved that would be a treat for all. He doesn't want me to intervene, instead, wants to speak to Deb himself and argue his case. Gery and I have coached him on the importance of being polite and respectful but didn't want to discourage him from trying to correct what he sees as an injustice. I don't know how accessible Deb is during the day and if it will even be possible for Joey to speak to her but I wanted to let you know that he wants to do this.

Hopefully, the day goes well. If there are any problems we are around.

Anne
