It's Highly Contagious....

I took the kids to the park this morning. And while I was pushing Cooper in the swing and Madison was whining about wanting to swing a Mom showed up with her kids for soccer practice. We will call her SM (sick Mom). So SM comes up to the Mom that is pushing her kid who is next to Cooper. We will call her HM (healthy Mom). So SM says to HM I think I need a doctor or a nurse. So my ears perk right up. SM continues to say look at my daughters hands she has a red rash on them and it has some blisters. HM says oh it looks like hand, foot and mouth disease and my kids have had that before. She then goes to say "IT IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS"!! And HM says I'm not crazy when it comes to germs so it doesn't bother me if SM stays at the park. What!?!? What about all the other kids?? So SM starts freaking out about how SHE doesn't want to get sick. Have I mentioned that her kids are running around the playground TOUCHING everything!

SM finally says "maybe we shouldn't be here" YA THINK!?! Does she go and get her highly contagious kids and leave? Nope! She continues to go on and on about how she doesn't want to get sick, how could this be happening to her, blah blah. I'm totally freaking out in my head because we are leaving for PA for vacation Tuesday. I say to Madison go get your cup we are leaving! And in her quiet 4 year old voice wants to know why we are leaving when we had just gotten there. Now I'm whispering to her to get her stuff we are leaving because there are sick kids there. And again in her quiet 4 year old voice wants to know why they are at the park if they are sick. I finally get them over to the car and douse their hands in hand sanitizer! And then gave them more sanitizer. Thankfully the kids weren't too close to the sick ones and I know that they didn't touch anything that the sick kids did. After we left we went to another park where Madison and Cooper were the only ones and they had a lot of fun!
