Health

Earlier this week Cian woke up in the morning and before going to the toilet had to stick a film of plastic to his arse. He had to this for two days in a row. This wasn't something Mammy and Daddy thought up because the boy refused to tidy up his room  but rather a school mandated health inspection. They wanted to check for pinworm eggs. No, seriously pinworm eggs.
Do you even know what a pinworm is?
Neither did I but here's a helpful explanatory diagram:

To be honest I found it all a tad insulting, the implication being that such is the squalor and degradation the Takahashi-Gaynor's are living in the educational authorities have to test for intestinal worms. Before I could drive a JCB into the school gates Sanae pointed out to me that (a) all the kids in all the schools in Japan are tested; and (b) these tests have been going on ever since the sun god Amaterasu descended from the heavens and complained of an itchy arse.
