Have Time For A Quick Laugh?

I probably shouldn’t be on the computer.  There are scads of things I should be doing.  But I couldn’t resist sharing my little funny today.

My little guy is home with a fever.  Again.  My husband has pneumonia and went to work anyway.  My oldest son had “the look” this morning.  You know the one I mean.  The one where their eyes announce “I’m getting sick.  My head hurts.  Are you speaking English?” 

However, because he insisted on going, and didn’t have a temperature at the time of departure, I let him go to school anyway. 

I’ll probably regret it.  But no news from school is good news, right?

All of that isn’t funny.

But the next part is.

After a trip to the doctor’s office (the third in two weeks for him), I asked my little guy if he was hungry. 

He wasn’t sure. 

Did he feel like toast? 

Not sure.

Cereal? 

He didn’t know.

So I asked if I could have a bowl of cereal with him, thinking maybe I could coax him into eating something with me.

Nearly exasperated, he replied, “Mom, I’m not in charge of you.  I’m like--six and you’re like--twenty.   You can do whatever you want.”

God bless his sick little self! 

I didn’t correct him.  Would you??

Later, he said, “I could still go to school, Mom, even if I’m sick.”

“Oh?” I say.

“Yeah.  They have a sick bay.”

Hee-hee!

Maybe I should have sent him!  I’m sure their sick bay is better staffed than mine!

I hope the school doesn’t “beam” anybody home today.  :P  Did I spell beam right??  Is there more than one spelling for beam?  I digress.

My advice for the day is:  Lock your door so those nasty flu bugs don’t sneak into your house! 

Stay healthy friends!!

P.S.  My dear friend and neighbor just called to say she’s picking her 12-year-old son up from school.  He threw up and is running a fever.  Yikes!!  Is it too much to ask that my boys leave that bug at school??? 

Though, I doubt the school has a washing machine in their sick bay!  Lol!
