The whole world is consumed with the whole flu pandemic thing, right? Bulletins go out about health and shots and washing of hands. Every meeting I attend these days has a bottle of hand sanitizer available. Flu shot availability is now a daily on the news. The flu is a big thing, right?
I have a friend who sends her child to the yuppie pre-school in town. Not daycare . . . Pre-School. This is where all the doctors, lawyers, bankers, and college professors send their children. They don't go everyday during work hours . . . they attend three mornings a week.
My friend called me last night with steam coming from her ears.
She had received an email from her child's teacher. Apparently, weekly email updates are the norm for pre-schools this day in age. She blathered on about the apple bobbing the class participated in the previous week. She was nice enough to attach pictures.
Think about apple bobbing for a moment. A vat of lukewarm water . . . 14 known germ carriers slobbering and sneezing into it (I assume small children sneeze when they get water in their noses like monkeys do) . . . and then eating fruit from that vat.
Then, she goes on to say that of the 14 children in the class, 5 have confirmed cases of the flu and 6 others are experiencing viral symptoms (fever, vomiting, etc).
She is this week's moron of the week.
