The following is a true story. . . . . .
from a Lakeville kindergarten classroom just before winter break. A student walks up to his teacher first thing in the morning and asks, "Can I go to the nurse?" The teacher asks why and the students says, "I threw up in the car." The teacher quickly asks, "This morning?" The student's reply: "No, coming home from Grandma's house at Thanksgiving."
