We have a weird thing in my school district in which there are not enough spots for all the students IN the district to get into their local school. So the night before Kindergarten registration? The Dads (and it's almost always the Dads) camp out to be the first in line when registration opens... (this year anyone there after 3:30 am was in trouble)
But then, they give you a number and you have to come back so they can inspect your paperwork.. at least USUALLY. I figured I would go back at noon or something and handle it.
But DH was there really early last night (9pm) and they took and inspected his paperwork at 9am.
We selectively vax, but obviously list NO vaxes and just sign the vax exemption neatly written on the back of the form. I THOUGHT I would be turning in the form but LUCKILY I have mentioned a FEW times to DH that there is no such thing as a partial - exemption. More LUCKILY? He listened!
The nurse looked at the form (listing no vaxes) , flipped it over, read the exemption and asked DH "So, has your daughter had ANY vaccines?"
DH said he felt like it was a potential trap either way!! He was fairly certain that he was supossed to say "NO VAX" but then he thought "well maybe like the polio is REQUIRED or something"
SO his reply:
"we are philosopically opposed to vaccinations"
the nurse asked again "but have you EVER vaxed"
he replied. "we are philosopically oppsed to vaccinations, as to the details? I don't go to the doctor visits, you may ask my wife"
Not the BEST answer but good enough!!
