Another day, another trip to the ER

[conuly]

Which makes twice in, what, two months? I need to make an emergency kit. It is SO BORING being there, and some of the kids stuck there could've used some entertainment as well, then they'd've hopefully shut up for a minute.

What should I put in there besides the obvious?

So whatever side of you your mom sits on, you just leave that earplug out (I was going to suggest bringing earplugs, myself).

Do kids still play jacks (revealing my age here)? Maybe a jacks set. Coloring books, crayons, simple children's reading books.

I don't know why ERs don't have the Kids Entertainment section replete with iPads, TVs, coloring books, board games, other games, reading books, picture books, an attendant so mom/dad/other family member or family friend can take a freaking break, but I guess none of them ever do.

They still sell jacks, so somebody must play it.
