Forguve me, I now this is not an AIBU thread but there is more traffic here and I need advice quick.

DS has just come home from school and he has been rained on, he's soaked through, I've checked him over and he doesn't appear to be melting but you can never tell with these things can you.

Do you think he will be okay or should I get the hair driers out?

Thanks in advance, I am sure I will get some very helpful advice [tongue in cheek smiley]

Put him in the freezer. Will stop him melting

stoatie · 15/05/2012 15:48

Keep him off school for the rest of the week just in case he is incubating something

missnevermind · 15/05/2012 15:49

Just tell him to be grateful he doesnt live here.
Hail Snowstorm and Thunder and Lightening.

Party time!

EXmrsmascarahead · 15/05/2012 15:49

Do I take the frozen stuff out first or just ram him in there?

Do you have an aga? put him in to dry out. hth

TartyMcFarty · 15/05/2012 15:49

Take him to A&E. You can never be too careful.

EXmrsmascarahead · 15/05/2012 15:50

Aga? Do think I'm posh or summat?

Get him to stand in the bath quick! That way if he does start to dissolve, you will still have all of him.

You could store him in a jar, hopeful someone finds a way to put him back together again in the future

Just remember to put the plug in :)

As long as he wasn't near a supermarket carpark he should be fine.

wonkylegs · 15/05/2012 15:50

Lie him on the radiator, turn him over in about half an hour hth

StealthPolarBear · 15/05/2012 15:50

mnm we've had a heavy snow shoewer today!

diedandgonetodevon · 15/05/2012 15:51

You let him get wet?!? What sort of mother are you? Hmm

gafhyb · 15/05/2012 15:51

Call the police. And the AA, and the NSPCC

TartyMcFarty · 15/05/2012 15:52

PandaWatch · 15/05/2012 15:53

YABU.

Send him back outside and wait for the sun to come out to dry him off Grin

rhondajean · 15/05/2012 15:55

Oh no you can never be too careful, my dd will not get wet just in case she melts...hope he is lucky!

EXmrsmascarahead · 15/05/2012 15:56

His school is near a supermarket, will this seriously effect his health, I am getting very worried

ABatInBunkFive · 15/05/2012 15:57

It shouldn't affect his health, your sanity yup, i agree sue/leave the bastard, you owe it to your poor possibly melting child.

openerofjars · 15/05/2012 15:57

Just be careful: I let DS get wet through once and he dried out a bit weird and now he has to sleep in a hammock. Plus, one of his feet stretched and one of them shrunk.

I bloody told DH he was dry clean only.

MidnightinMoscow · 15/05/2012 15:58

Ring Johnnie Boden - he'll know what to do in this situation.

PandaWatch · 15/05/2012 15:59

"His school is near a supermarket, will this seriously effect his health, I am getting very worried"

Depends on who's using the parent and child spaces...

gafhyb · 15/05/2012 16:00

Midnight - what will Johnnie do? fly in with his ditsy print superhero cape and fly DS off to Cornwall for a good yomp along the beach with his cargo shorts on?

EXmrsmascarahead · 15/05/2012 16:03

DH was using the spaces, he takes DD out with her blue badge and they see how many scowls and insults they can get in an hour.
