Johnny has been sick since Monday evening with a fever and a cough-thing. He stayed home Tuesday and yesterday. On Monday evening, when it was clear he wouldn't be going to school the next day, I began to give him some liquid Tylenol. He squirmed and I told him it would make him feel better. At that he began to wail and said between sobs, "But I don't want to feel better. Because if I feel better, I'll have to go to school tomorrow."
I knew just how he felt. I'm feeling it right this moment. I woke up this morning at 3:00 AM with a headache that I still haven't been able to shake. But since I haven't been able to shake it? I get to stay home from work and crawl back into my cozy bed and snuggle up with the cold side of my pillow.
