Every October VCS has an event called Fall Festival which is something like an indoor carnival. It’s a time to enjoy playing silly games with kids, meet parents, and sample some good food.
This year some kids set up a heart exhibit for science class. Upon entering the room, I was offered a platter filled with small brownish chunks poked through with toothpicks like hors dourves.
“Hi, Mr. Klein, would you like some heart?”
“Ummmmm….”
“It’s really good, I promise.”
“Uhhhhhhh….”
“Come on, it’s just chicken heart. You’ll like it.”
“Ummmmm….O-K.”
I picked a piece off the platter and chewed. Is it too cliche to say it tasted like chicken? It really did, though, and it made me wonder what Chicken McNuggets are really made of.
The night was topped off by great performances from the Beginning Band class and the Elementary and Middle School Choirs.
As always, it was a fun night, and a good time was had by all.
