Taking our germs elsewhere

The kids around us looked well--happy and energetically playing. My not-so-well baby was enjoying watching them, but I felt guilty about being so close. When a seat in a more empty part of the waiting room cleared up, I whispered to Klara, "Let's move our germs over there," and I moved away from the crowd. A dad looked at me and said, "Wow. Obvious."

Clearly, it wasn't that obvious. I was looking out for him and his kids--not protecting my girl from them. If it was about my baby, though, would it have been a bad thing to move her away from germy kids?

It's funny that his rude comment has followed me home tonight. I probably should have responded to him, but I was so taken aback that I convinced myself I must have misheard.

Can tomorrow be "Try not to be rude to strangers day?" I need one of those. This mama is tired.
