These Puppies Are Sick

     Well it's mid may, and we are all sick. What the heck is going on? Shouldn't cold and flu season be over by now?

(if you rather not read about my own self loathing, scroll down to the line...I wont judge you)

      As I sit here with no voice OR patience for this virus, I hope to GAWD that my baby doesn't get it.....WE NEED SLEEP!

      If you work with kids, you get sick all the time. They pick their noses, cough and sneeze all over you, and hardly ever wash their hands which makes for a Disneyland-like setting for infectious viruses.

      I don't know if there is scientific research to suggest that children on the spectrum are more prone to viruses, but it seems to me that these kids are sick ALL THE TIME! Or maybe its just kids in general?

 Anyways, here is an amusing situation that happened when one of my students was sick:

     Fiona (my colleague) and I were working at a social group. We all sat in a circle and we were greeting each other by singing:

      "Hi___(name)__, How are you?"

      and the child would USUALLY respond with,

     "I'm _(good/great/not-so-good)_, thank you"....

    We went around the circle and got to my student who looked particularly "off"....we sang:

     "Hi ______, How are you"

He responded with:

      "I have Diarrhea, thank you"

I wasn't expecting that....

but I am sure, neither was he.
