Thanks to the vigilance of some astute school cafeteria workers, kids at a Connecticut middle school were saved from the possibility of swallowing sewing pins with their applesauce yogurt, and cranberry sauce. Yeah, as much as it pains me to type "vigilance", "astute", and "cafeteria workers" all in the same sentence, I've got to hand it to the lunch ladies in this case - they rock!
There've been no injuries yet thanks to the sharp eyes of the crack lunch lady team at Rachel Carson Middle School, but police are investigating. Pin-sniffing dogs may have to be released. Or giant magnets, maybe.
At any rate, I'm finding a little quiet irony in the fact that all this is occurring at Rachel Carson Middle School, where you would think people would be more environmentally aware and not leave their recyclables lying around in someone's food. But no one's talking yet about who might be responsible for this. Maybe it'll just have to be a Silent Spring.
