The Skits

Oh my lovely older child, how much joy you bring into my mornings, especially this one.  This morning Cassidy was set to get an award at school so after we dropped her off, we found a place to park and attended the assembly.  While we were looking for a place to sit, we saw Cassidy walking with Miss Mary, one of the parents who helps in her classroom and is always with Cass.  Cass had a serious look on her face and didn't even notice me while I was smiling and waving.  However, Miss Mary did.  I knew it was serious when she had the look of relief on her face for seeing me and started walking toward me, Cassidy in hand.  She said they were on their way to the nurse because of Cassidys "skits".  Huh?  Is that the name they have given her seizures?  What happened?  She said Cassidy told her friend sitting next to her that she has a disease called Skits.  The friend then came up with "my moms friends boyfriend had the skits and it is contagious!!!!!"  This freaking out the entire classroom of my daughters horrible contagious disease called Skits.  I looked at Miss Mary wondering what on earth she was talking about.  As far as I know, Cass does not have Skits.....and what on earth are the Skits might I ask?  So, bending down to Cassies level I asked what on earth she was talking about.  She said "remember mom, the stuff on my face?!!!"  Ummm, you mean your dry skin?  (we think it may be eczema and wont know until her appointment).  Miss Mary started cracking up and proceeded to escort her back to class.  What to go Cass, nothing says good morning like freaking out your whole class with your new fake disease.  Lets see how many friends decide to come over and play soon :)  The awards ceremony went well by the way, Skits and all!
