+++Conversation last night with my 4 year old son in our front yard+++
-
4YO:
Mommy look! (He had pulled up t-shirt and was pointing at his chest/stomach).
-
Me:
Hmmm... you have lots of red bumps.
-
Me:
(turns to my neighbor) These aren't chicken pox are they?
-
Neighbor:
He's vaccinated right?
-
Me:
Yes.
-
Neighbor:
Then no, probably just some bites.
-
Me:
(looking at my kid) you are fine, go play.
-
+++Fast forward to a phone call that I received today at work from my kids preschool+++
-
Me:
Hi, this is Tara.
-
Preschool:
Hi Tara, this is _____ from _____ school. Your son is with me here in the office.
-
Me:
What? Is he okay?
-
Preschool:
I'm not sure. He pulled up his t-shirt in class this morning and said that he has chicken pox.
-
Me:
(laughing) Really?
-
Preschool:
Yes. He does have quite a few bumps.
-
Me:
(laughing harder)
-
Preschool:
He said that you told him that he had chicken pox.
-
Me:
No... no. He doesn't have chicken pox. He has fleas.
-
Preschool:
Oh good. I'll send him back to class.
