My 4 year-old's preschool sent everyone home with a pinworm collection kit. Oh joy. I realize that preschoolers are not the cleanliest of creatures, but does the school really have to make all the parents check their child's intestinal tract for microscopic parasites?
I don't really mind the fact that they check my child's weight and height once a month. I actually welcome the visit from the dentist, since I'm hoping it will convince some of the snaggly-toothed kids to brush their teeth. But I rather resent having to collect samples of fecal matter. Over two days, no less. Ugh.
I think this is where I hand the kit to my husband and tell him that I can't read the instructions. I know, it's really not fair to play the "dumb gaijin"card, but if I screw it up, I will have to do it all over again. Better to let the native speaker do it right the first time.
About Me
- -alex
- Mostly SAHM with two boys and a husband who is much happier living in the U.S. I used to teach English to preschoolers, 5th and 6th graders and pharmaceutical employees and do English storytime at the public library. I have one screenplay written. It's a romantic comedy that is neither romantic nor comedic. Still working on the second one. First one is in a moving box somewhere. I hope someday that someone who is a cross between Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon will want to make my second screenplay into an animated feature.
