The last part about the milk bingo! I would do the same on that. We have to follow the food program guidelines or have a dr's note.
I wouldn't have thought you would lie personally anyways... we've both been around here long enough to know each other fairly well.
I was kind of just commenting on it in a general way because I know a lot of newer providers will take the easier ways out of things verses just doing the hard work of telling it like it is.
