Spun Sugar Syndrome

Apparently, most of the children at the local elementary school suffer from this debilitating malady.  It requires the utmost care and upkeep, for instance, during any rainfall event that occurs, the affected child must be carpooled to school and let out under the protective canopy of the breezeway only.  There can be no exceptions to this preventive treatment, and all other carpoolers will just have to suck it up and join the highway queue to get into the school parking lot.  One drop of rainwater may be fatal for such a child.
