Call from School

Lauren somehow managed to cut her chin at school yesterday, though she doesn’t recall how. It turned out to be a pretty small cut, but it removed just enough ‘meat’ that it kept oozing blood, so I went home to collect her. We took a precautionary trip to the GP’s, where a nurse pretty clearly indicated that I was insufficiently Jewish-Motherish to be worrying about so minor a nick. In my defense, I took her because the school seemed so concerned, and this gave me cover with them and Claire. It continued to ooze for a while, but all is well now.
