Blood in the water

Sometimes children seem like sharks to me.  Mum being sick is a bit like blood in the water.  SHARK FRENZY!  


My most exciting moment thus far today is returning to the classroom full of pandemonium to note that Lily thought it would be a good idea to hold her breath until she passed out.  This freaked her brother out who then attempted to open her mouth and accidentally yanked her earring.  The accidental yank did indeed convince her to breathe and additionally precipitated loud wailing and cries of misery.  


I didn't know whether to laugh or cry myself.  Thank goodness it's time for lunch.
