Tearcher Story - Allergic To Peanuts

Janet writes: At lunch we were eating cafeteria prepared Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. My Educational Assistant commented, “I didn’t think they could serve anything with peanuts because some people are allergic to them.”

At that moment one of the boys from my class who was at the table looked up and said with a mouthful of sandwich, “I’m allergic to peanuts.”

The EA and I gulped and conversation lagged. I was about to dial 911 when the Youth To Youth assistant – a high school girl said, “I think you’re lying.”

The boy slowly blinked and agreed, “I think so, too.”

Whew!
