It wasn't too chaotic. The kids got their lunches, found a seat and started eating. Then out of the blue the little boy sitting next to Kennedy threw up all over the table and on his lunch. It was the strangest thing......he didn't even really make a sound and he just kept sitting there, obviously he was NOT expecting that. AND I was the only one that saw it. I asked the lunch lady for some napkins and cleaned up the little boys hands. Then I told the teacher what happened and kept on mopping up the puke. She looked pretty squeamish and was grateful I stepped in to help. Honestly, he is the sweetest little boy and I hope that if it had been Kennedy, someone would have stepped in to help her.
As I headed home, I realized that in the 4 1/2 years I taught school, I never had to clean up someone's throw-up. Pretty much at the beginning of the year I would tell my students that if they felt the urge to ralph, they could just run to the bathroom and I would figure it out. No need to sit and try to get my attention and ask permission to go to the bathroom.......JUST RUN!! So, there went my perfect record, but I also got in a good deed for the day.

I definitely wouldn't have been able to help him. That is my weak spot! You're amazing!
Good for you, Mel. Someone had to help him. And, like you, I would hope that some "Good Samaritan" would help my child. Proud of you!
