The children are definitely shunning Joey, now, too. Ashley helpfully comfirmed that, yes, he has cooties and, yes, they were given to him by Katrina.
I asked if she could tell me more about cooties, and a few of the children--Ashley and Felix, for the most part, told me that people with cooties act like big kids, and do what big kids do, including dressing like them. They told me they like to play big kid games, because the Cootie Monster likes big kid games.
I asked them where they heard this. There were various sources, but the most common one seemed to be older siblings, older cousins, and the like.
Though, to be honest, the most common reaction was that disbelief that I didn't already know these things.
Other than that, the day was mostly uneventful. I didn't watch recess, today. I wonder if the children fled from both Joey and Katrina today,
