WOAH that is kind of unusual. That wouldn't be normal at all in Australia.The dumbest thing I can think of?? Hmm. Back in grade-school, we were served a dessert with lunch. teachers would walk around and make sure that each child had actually consumed their lunch-food prior to eating their dessert, otherwise they'd get in trouble. It struck me as being stupid at the age of..eight? nine? What were they gonna do if we ate dessert first??
