Balloons vs. Leafy Green Veggies

Last week, I had the privilege of accompanying my granddaughter and her preschool class on a fieldtrip to one of our local ShopRite grocery stores for a tour. The children have been learning about healthy eating habits so the tour was mostly restricted to the circumference where one would find produce, dairy, bakery items, meats and fish.

As expected, a very engaging employee led the tour and was able to hold the children's attention until...

...the employee was extolling the virtue of all veggies green and leafy, when a little girl from the class pointed upward and shouted out: "Cool. Look at all the balloon!" Evidently, the card/party supply aisle was the next aisle over as evidenced by the photo below.

The leafy green veggies, and the engaging employee, lost the attention of the children to the balloons. The tour moved on.

One caveat: the tour turned out to be a success despite the balloons. Kudos to the preschool and ShopRite!
