S had a friend over to play. When his mom walked in with him, she said, he's been coughing a lot. I blink a few times. As she's walking out the door, she turns to her kid and says, "If you're going to vomit, tell Kathryn." And then she's gone.
The play date was uneventful, but I was left wondering why I can't be a bit more aggressive without preparation?

The coughing had me annoyed, the vomit comment has left me stunned! Hey! Why not spread the illness to as many people as possible?
Hold up- I would not take this as a personal failure on your part, but rather on hers. Obviously she knew she needed to go VERY quickly after spilling that little comment.
What a party! Why not invite Typhoid Tom over to play more often???
Whoa, I'm not sure I would know what to say either. I am glad it was uneventful!
Not so nice of that mom....
And it always stinks when you think of something great to say after its too late.
We're watching you, Blackburns! When I told Bill about your challenging tales of woe, he kept saying, "Oh, that's easy to fix..." and some instant Man-Solution like "get a maid to do it." He almost slowed down a little when he heard the maid got typhoid...
try 7 years of surgical residency. That'll put hair in places you don't want to look! I go to work somedays just looking for a confrontation. You know, just something to shake the cobwebs out.
Kathryn! I found your blog link on Brenda's blog. So... you're in INDIA??? What the heck? What are you doing way over there? And how are you guys doing?
As a side note, I got vomited on by a friends' kid just this past Monday. Delightful, isn't it?
wow. either that mama is maliciously ballsy or a total ignoramus. i'd put the axe on any future playdates with that shady set.
Perrrfect.
