Strep - squared (and possibly cubed)

How to successfully spread strep: 1. Take a sick toddler to the doctor and discover that she has strep. 2. Bring home lollipops for her and her two siblings. 3. Sit all three children on the couch with their lollipops, and put on Curious George. 3. Go into the kitchen to start disinfecting everything the toddler may have mouthed or touched. 4. Hear this being yelled from the living room from the oldest child: "Mom I finished my lollipop, and so Kelly is letting me have licks from hers!!" 5. Stop disinfecting. 6. Sprint into the living room in hopes that these "licks" have not yet occurred, only to discover that they HAVE! 7. Have a slight nutty 8. Take deep breaths. 9. Consider letting the middle child have "licks" too, but decide that you just can't do it. 10. Put money aside for at least one more co-pay AND round of antibiotics.
I hope you've all found this helpful (and mildly entertaining).
