Max is now obsessed with leprosy. There’s a Weird Al song called Party at a Leper Colony which we were listening to during the drive to Havern School one morning this week.
I explained lepers and leper colonies to Max. He kept asking about it over the next day or two. So last night we watched some YouTube videos about leprosy and leper colonies.
Now Max wants me to take him to the doctor to get tested for it. It took 15 minutes of re-assuring him before he let up and decided to go to sleep. He asked how they test for it, how much does it cost, how much is the cure, what is the cure, why can’t he get it, what if he has it? What if I have it?
