It’s Going Around
Submitted by Boys and Schools Blog
There are a few seemingly innocuous little words and phrases that experience as a parent slowly teaches you to dread. Among these are, “I’m o.k.,” “Nothing,” (especially when it follows, “What was that?”), and, “It’s going around.” The last one of these has hit our house particularly hard this past week, for which you’ll have to forgive me for the erratic blogging. As for what it is, specifically, that is going around right now? That would be the Martian Virus from Hell, which our pediatrician laughably referred to as, “a gastro-intestinal virus.” Which sorely understates its power to reduce two grown adults quivering, blanket-covered sofa lumps unable to withstand the toddler’s confident assertion that cookies are indeed part of a healthy, well-rounded breakfast.
So I must now admit that rather than combing the net for interesting and controversial news regarding boys’ issues, I have instead been contemplating the seams in my couch cushions. Up close and for long stretches of time. So please forgive me, but I’m just going to leave you all with this video of a little boy playing Wii Boxing (because it made me laugh), and hope to do better tomorrow.
