Dawn Is Me

Kimmie wants to change the world.

Well, actually, all she really wants to do is nuke the NY State Department of Health. Not that I blame her.

She was due to start back to school today until they remembered a new rule. I have to produce proof that she has either had the chicken pox or been vaccinated against it.

Now, here’s the thing: she has had the chicken pox but, since I didn’t take her to the doctor for that (who takes their kid to the doctor for the chicken pox, for crissakes?), I couldn’t proove it.

State officials won’t take my word for it, seeing as how I’m just a parent.

So, in order for the administration to let Kimmie go back to school, I had to take her to the doctor to get her immunized against a disease she’s already had.

And they wonder why health care costs are skyrocketing! Oy.

Stupid pencil pushers …
