Sent home? Really?

Okay, so the last little while all of my kids have had a bit of a cough. With Missy and Turbo it was accompanied by a runny nose, but Goober hasn't struggled with that so much.

This morning Goober woke up with a cough (not surprised, didn't expect it to disappear over night) and we got ready for school.

I figured that I had woken up with a cough too, and had coughed for a short while (due to a dry throat) and then it died down somewhat... though didn't completely disappear. I figured Goober probably had the same issue. So I sent him out to the bus stop and proceeded to wait for my mom to show up to watch the other kids so I could go get my biweekly beating see my trainer.

After going to the gym to drip on the equipment a bit, I headed home and found my mom and kids gone... they had gone to pick up Goober from school.

Apparently the school called to ask someone to come get him because he has a cough.

Kinda odd really. I mean, I could see it if he was hacking up a lung, but he's not. And he had the same cough yesterday... and they didn't send him home then...

Anyhow, of course I let him stay home, though I wasn't so mean as to make him take a nap (which I would usually do if he were to stay home from school). I did tell him he couldn't play with friends today though... cause, you know, if the school sent him home maybe it's do to worrying about the other kids?

So he had a good day off playing with his siblings, playing on the wii, and watching movies... and occasionally coughing.

I wonder if they sent more than just him home today? Cause if they did, it was probably about half of the class...
