Simon woke me up about 4:30 this morning to let me know that he had vomited. I cleaned him up and changed his bedding, and tucked him back in. He woke up about 10:30…
Simon: Why aren’t I in school I thought it was Monday?
Me: Well, you puked this morning.
Simon: I thought it had something to do with that.
I checked his temperature, with our new thermometer that turns green, yellow, or red, in addition to displaying the temperature…
Me: It’s yellow.
Simon: What does “yellow” insinuate in the pattern of red, yellow, green?
Me: It means you have a mild temperature.
Simon: Yay! I get another sick day!
Me: I’ve never met anybody so happy to be sick before. Do you want to lay down on the couch and watch some TV?
Simon: No, my belly hurts to bad to sit around and be lazy.
