This morning, I'm getting our little guy dressed dressed, and noticed two of his toes had slivers of green skin near the toe nail. My first thought: oh crap, fungal infection.
My second thought: is gangrene really green?
This isn't good. Could this fungus be flesh eating? Will he lose a toe on my account?
On the trip to day care, I'm thinking this over. Then it hits me. I walk in, see the teacher and casually ask: any chance the kids were painting with their feet yesterday?. Why yes they were, was the response.
I have a big internal sigh of relief, and applaud myself for not calling 911 or visiting the ER.
I proudly call Shira with my story, to which she replies, of course it was paint you fool.
Regardless, I'm pleased that I was able to figure out this mystery. Kids, like women, are a constant mystery, and I'll take any little victory I can.
Note to self, The Guide's advice still holds:Don't Panic.
