Birthday Brownies/Cookies

Since Connor started his new school the day after his birthday I planned on going into his classroom the end of the first week to do his birthday celebration. I made homemade brownies and headed into his classroom on Friday afternoon. I was greeted with a huge hug from Connor and lots of excitement from his classmates. The teacher looks at what I bought and said "Did you make those?" "Yes!" I responded proudly. "Oh no!" she said quietly. "Umm...what is wrong?" I asked. "Well, you are not allowed to bring in homemade goodies into school." she said. What!?! I have never heard of such a thing. Isn't homemade better than chemical filled cupcakes? Apparently they are afraid we are going to poison them or something. So there was this awkward moment of what am I going to do. She then asked if I read the handbook since it was in there. Nope, hadn't gotten around to that yet! Anyways, I ended up explaining it to Connor who took it like a champ and came back today with my store bought stupid Publix cookies! Oh well! Connor was still excited about me coming.
