3 cheers for ring worm!

You know, when I got ring worm from the kids at school a month or two ago, I thought, Well it's gross and it's itchy and this is the worst job perk ever...but at least I can check it off my list of "Gifts from the kids" and be done with it. (Yeah, you know where this is going...) I have it- again. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? The colds I can handle, getting the flu, I can handle, coughs, no problem, fevers, I'm queen of fevers...but RING WORM?? TWICE??? Eccccchhh. Somebody shoot me.

At the snack table yesterday, Jamie (an almost four-year-old darling who also has ringworm- again) asked the kids around the table, "Does anyone want to see my owie?" She then proceeded to take off her band-aid which covered her vary contagious ring worm. "No nonononononono, let's keep that band-aid on, okaaaaay?" She agreed to my request, but wanted to make sure the class knew what her owie was, so she said (loudly and proudly), "It's RING WORM!" Then she put her hands in the air and started chanting like a baseball fan, "Ring worm! Ring worm! Ring worm!"

didn't even know HOW to respond to THAT!

Man, being a preschool teacher is so gross.
