Life Lesson # 9,637

Do not, under any circumstances, let your child know that the icky cold you have might possibly be contageous.

Without a doubt, he will wake up the very next morning, if not sooner, and let you know he can't go to school because he has "whatever it is that you had, only worse."

Of course, I am a smart woman. I cannot be taken advantage of so easily. I promptly asked:
"And what is it that you have, exactly?"

"Ummmmm... well, what you had, only worse."

"Which is....?"

"Ummmm.... really contageous."

Will I survive this child??? I often wonder!
