Our new hero.
Part of the reason why the Christmas season is so wonderful is that there’s usually an array of lovely food that’s just waiting to be scoffed down while you’re watching The Great Escape on TV. It’s one of the greatest traditions ever.
Mince pies, sweets and biscuits are always in the press but the only food that still makes adults recoil in horror is the sight of those awful Brussels sprouts on their dinner plate. Seriously, who eats them?
While we may all be grown ups, they still make me feel all yucky (yes an adult used that word) which is why I’ve got so much respect for this child from Monkfield Park Primary school in Cambridgeshire.
He hates sprouts so much that he has started to smuggle them into school in an effort to avoid eating them in front of his parents. What’s even better though is that he’s hiding the evidence in the schoolbags of other pupils.
The identity of this ‘secret sprout spreader’ remains a mystery and the school principal has even sent a note out to the parents stating “A child who we believe may be in Year 3 has been bringing in cooked Brussels sprouts from home. Since we have children in the school with severe food allergies, this is obviously a situation where we require your assistance in monitoring.”
Rather than being punished, one parent actually thinks that this child is an absolute genius who deserves an award for the imaginative plan.
“When I read the letter I just laughed. I thought it was a wind-up. This kid should get a medal and a job with MI5. They’re a genius.
We agree, this child is doing some truly incredible work.
