....before cooties speaks to them first.

My 5 year old son is in kindergarten. He came home about a month ago talking about cooties. He also told us about the vaccine. Additionally, cooties seem to come in multiple colors these days, and the blue ones are the worst.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about the "vaccine" until this video. Pretty awesome that kids are starting to talk about vaccines in their imaginations though

What's all this talk of vaccines? All you need to do is keep your fingers crossed to avoid the cooties.

A vaccine? Nonsense. All you need to do to get rid of cooties is give it to someone else. At least that's what the older kids told me. And once you've had it, you can't get it again for a really long time. Like a week.

It didn't get me until the blonde kid said "What do I do now?"

Amnesty will be protesting the WHO about vaccinations in Seattle next week. I expect tear gas, but those children make it worth it.

Circle-circle-dot-dot worked good for us in Iraq in 2003 when we were afraid of potential chemical weapons cache exposure.
