what would mommy do?

The youngster had a problem this morning at school. He was his normal overly animated self in the car. He looked fine when I dropped him off. Apparently shorty thereafter, he got clammy and almost passed out, and wasn't responding to anyone. The school called the wife, who left work and took him to the doctor.

The doctor said it was like a fainting spell. He is probably dehydrated. Have him drink a bunch of Gatorade and he should be fine. She left the doctor's office with a normal, functioning youngster.

I'm thinking...OK, have him chug a Gatorade or two and send him back to school...head on back to work...get on with the day. After all, the episode is over and he's a walkie talkie kid again. Time to go learn things.

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo. He should spend the rest of the day at home "resting", and mom should take the rest of the day off to stay with him, and they should go to McDonald's and spend the rest of the morning in a McFlurry haze, and...and....why? It's over and done. He's fine.

I guess I'd make a terrible mommy.

Bad Uncle Mommy. Bad. ;-)

Everyone needs a day off here and there. What's wrong with the two of them hanging out "resting?" Besides, I'm a mommy, and if my boy was passing out, I'd feel a little protective and maybe want to just hang out at home with him for the day, too, and keep an eye on things. No real harm done.
