There are a multitude of things that bother me regarding the whole Octomom story. I can’t add anything new to what has already been said, except for this:

I really hate when these babies (and any other babies born from large multiple pregnancies) are referred to as a litter, like they are in this article. […]

His reason? The kid who sits next to him is sick (apparently well enough to come to school, though) and Ryley would hate to get sick, too.

I guess I should look at it like protective custody, or the witness protection program?
