That night, he had a dream that all the lunch food have peanuts in them. He's at a peanut-free table by Mrs. MacGrady and show her the other kids Adam being allergic to air and drink homeade spinach food and Ron and Don being allergic to their hands, and utensils so they have to eat something on wood.

Jenna said it not really a big deal and her mother did the same thing when she found out Jenna is allgeric to milk. Binky feels sorry for her because milk is in everything but Jenna said she got use to it after a while and research a good ice cream made from rice milk and offered to help Binky with his allergy while he buys cashews.

So he gets a shot which relieved him and his mother said she should of never let Binky eat the cashews.
