Wow. The near unanimity is striking.
Of course, I did A, and that, friends, is why I remain strictly junior varsity when it comes to parenting. Here are the mitigating factors: The Boy had fallen at school the day before and hit his head and the teacher made a fuss over him (even calling at home in the evening to check on him), and just moments before impact, a neighbor stopped by to witness the whole event and she kept volunteering to watch The Girl if I wanted to take The Boy to the ER.
More than that, though, The Boy (who is fine, by the way--this happened last week) was on my last nerve that morning, and my first thought when he fell was not, "Oh my God, I hope he's okay," but "Oh my God, I hope he can go to school." That seemed to invite such bad juju upon The Boy that I just couldn't bring him to school.
So, be honest, am I just a little crazier that you thought I was before you read this post?
The bad juju thought might have made me choose A also. Damn juju.

With the mitigating factors you've revealed, I can understand picking A without thinking you are crazy.
Although I might have still gone with B given those factors.

I agree with Sam. Sigh. It's always something, eh?

Nah, I would have been tempted to do A also. Except mine have fallen so many times now and always been fine...so now I just feel like I am risking their lives, but I do E.

Who isn't sort of crazy? You should see the things I've taken my cat's to teh emergency vet for...

While I would ordinarily have done E, I can totally see doing A with the bad juju.
Far as crazy goes, that one's strictly small time. Heh.

Late to the party.
First time Max smacked his head that hard (boy meets dog on bed), the first thing the nurse asked me was if the dog was okay.
So I would have picked E.

I think I'm gonna pick A too.
