SD13 brought home a nasty flu this past weekend. Hardly unusual at this time of year. However, it appears that, because she is such a special little snowflake, her parents never bothered to teach her to cover her mouth when she coughs. Seriously - mouth wide open and arms firmly at her sides. Unbelievable!!!!

Granted, she DOES fart rainbows and marshmallows, so I am guessing that apparently her droplets of germ-infested spit and snot ARE gold-plated. However, I DON"T WANT THEM!!!

When I pointed out this insanity - really people - she is 13 - her father said that he would "get on her." Apparently, "now honey, you really should cover your mouth" counts as "getting on her!" She alternated between a half-hearted raising of the hand and reverting back to open mouth spewing for the rest of the weekend. And now I, SD14 and her father has it. But I should not be mad at the little darling - even though I have court all this week and am really going to make a good impression. Gee, your honor, (cough, hack, sniffle) my client should be sentenced to time served (sneeze) and minimal probation (snort, wheeze), don't you agree? Charming.....
