When our youngest had a cold last week, she sneezed uncovered. I told her, always cover a sneeze so you wouldn’t give another person your cold. Oddly, she continued to sneeze uncovered, and when I came down with the same awful cold this week, she was delighted. Last night, as I sneezed (I cover, btw) and sniffled my way through bedtime hell, she gave me some advice. “You have a bad cold, Daddy. Give it to someone else like I did, and you’ll be all better.”
You’re thinking, awww, how cute. She’s a teenager. It ain’t cute.
Her name’s not Mary, is it?
Ha!
This morning my son’s teacher had written this on the message board:
Good morning, wonderful students! Somebody gave me their cold yesterday and I would like to return it.

I see a metaphor in that wadded-up pile of Kleenex.
Get well soon!
