I needed to come get him. It had been going around in my twins’ grade. The nurse was going to pull my other two kids out of class and check them, too, before I got there. I think she only saw clear evidence of it on two of the three kids, but it made no sense to leave one of🧵
them at school. We called all around and finally found a place that could fit us all in (most places were filled up until the next day because so many kids had been sent home. And I live in a large metropolitan area, btw, no shortage of places.) After being checked, four out 🧵
