Good snack, Bad snack

As some of you might have figured out, I work with children these. I actually teach 6 and 7 year olds to read by forcing them to sound out horrible hard words like... goat and chicken. Today we're going to play a quick game of good snack, bad snack. These are of course, only in my humble opinion.

Good snacks: baby carrots, apple slices, grapes, little cookies, goldfish crackers.

Bad snacks: slim jims and this: a GIANT APPLE.

Dear people who work with me, what made you think that buying apples from Costco the size of the heads of babies for babies would be delicious, nutritious, and .... REALISTIC? You end up with something that looks like this:

Do you see what happens? Gnawing happens. Baby teeth that are in the process of replacing themselves with their permanent counterparts do not have that much experience biting into HARD, giant apples. I applaud this baby for giving it some effort, chewing the bottom corners, and pulling a hard line down the middle of the apple.

Let's think this through people.
