Melody 的同學

寶貝的午餐當然不能馬虎,學校沒有微波爐, 也沒有蒸飯器,所以如何讓他们有熱乎乎的午餐可以享用,一直讓我傷透腦筋. 還好從台灣帶來的保溫飯盒可以保溫4-6小時,所以我都在前一晚就備好炒飯,炒麵, 水餃或燉類食品,早上加熱後就可以直接裝入容器內,省時又方便. 後來Mrs. Conwell見我辛苦,在準備晚餐時就幫我多弄一份隔天可熱食的餐供小孩帶便當,她最拿手的義大利麵,燉肉馬鈴薯泥和中式泡麵炒麵,都是小孩的最愛. 水果方面也會每日更換, 蘋果, 橘子,哈蜜瓜,草莓等等,一點也不吝嗇.偶而還會親手做小甜點讓小孩當早茶點心. 所以Melody和Sandra都愛死她了.

學校也有福利社販賣零嘴和午餐,種類還不少. 每週五我都會讓他们訂學校午餐,有菜單可以事先選,像是 漢堡,壽司,千層麵,薯條,泡麵等等,價位在 AUD 2 ~ 5不等, 前一晚把錢裝入B4大小紙袋,外面寫上要訂購的食物,班級和名字,早上會由同學收齊後交到福利社給義工媽媽, 就可以了. 義工媽媽會在午休時間將熱呼呼的餐點送到各班前,供訂購者領取.有些熱食只在早茶時供應,有些則在特定的日子才有.  所以每到星期五就是Melody和Sandra最期待的日子,我給他们AUD5的額度,讓她们自己選. Melody是省錢型的小孩,總是挑最便宜的來吃,或是想吃價格較高的餐點時,會和妹妹研究合吃一份,另一份就點大蒜麵包(只要AUD0.8)或薯條.  Sandra 就不同了,不但要吃好的, 要是沒有超過AUD5,剩下的就要我讓他買聰明豆或其它零食, 湊到5元 .

學校規定午餐要在大川堂吃,小孩们三五聚集分享午餐,大部份的學童都帶三明治,果汁,水果和優格.另外有數片餅乾在早茶時間食用. 有的小孩肚子餓了, 就在早茶時間把午餐吃了,等午餐時間在盡情玩45分.  也有小孩真的是沒帶午餐,往往只帶幾片餅乾,喝學校的白開水就過一天. 每回聽小孩回家分享他们午餐時間與同學互動愉快,玩的也盡興,一點也不覺的來澳洲是來念書的,反而是每日都玩的很開心.

Sandra 最喜歡作的事就是下課和一群朋友去福利社排隊買零食,因為在台灣他們的學校是沒有福利社的,所以能親手付錢選自己想吃食物,對她而言, 是一大樂事. 每週我都固定給10元當零用錢,他们可以自行花用或等到回台錢買想要的紀念品. Melody永遠都花不完,Sandra則總是花光光. 真是一個家庭卻教出二個不同金錢觀的小孩.
