Daycare's Dirty Little Secret-- Uncovered!
You think just because you label your pacifiers that only your child sucks them? Wrong. I popped into day care to visit Baby Bird and unmasked the source of my last two colds.
His name is JJ.
JJ is fond of other babies' pacifiers. And he's mobile-- mostly via two legs, but even on four that fella can move. I don't want to tell tales about other babies, but JJ also has a bit of a drippy nose problem. I'd wager good diaper-money that he has something to do with the fact that my teeth have turned an appalling Nyquil shade of green.
Thanks also to Daycare for my new hobby: stalking. I studied the sign-out sheet and learned that the Moppy Head baby's mother comes regularly at 5:40 p.m. Today I timed my pick-up to coincide with hers. Unfortunately, the moment she walked in she learned that her kid had a rash all over her body. Anxious Teacher: "didn't you get our phone messages?"
Try and make small talk after that announcement.
