My boys are sick.
Well, two of the three of them are. Steve is feeling fine.
Michael had bronchitis and a horrible sore throat about three weeks ago, and apparently that never really got better.
So, now he has an ear infection and the remnants of bronchitis.
Namely, the cough.
*hack, hack, hack*
Jack was fine until this week.
A certain situation (more on that below) came about Sunday evening and on Tuesday morning he had a runny nose.
And on Wednesday, he had a sore throat and a watery eye.
On Thursday, his eye started to become goopy (Yes, that’s an actual medical term).
And today I just couldn’t stand it anymore.
I brought them both in to the doctor.
Dr. Moore: Hey look! It’s Michael and Jack! How are you guys?
Jack: Well, I have a really runny nose. And my eye feels like it’s really tight (see visual below).
LOVE the toothless face :)
Dr. Moore: Wow, that’s a good description, Jack.
Jack: And my throat… it feels like the germs are shooting out splinters all over with guns. Like pow, pow, pow. And my eye, it was really watery and now it has, like, goop coming out of it, and it’s gross.
Dr. Moore: Ok. That’s more of a description than adults give me.
Mom: Who wants to tell Dr. Moore how Jack got sick?
Jack: Michael took my fork at the dinner table, and he put it in his mouth and licked it. Then he breathed all over my plate.
Dr. Moore: Did you eat from that fork, Jack?
Jack: Yes.
Michael: But he threw corn at me! And I had to get back at him!
Dr. Moore: It sounds like you two need to behave better at the dinner table. Michael, if you can’t go to the Grand Canyon next week like you planned to, who is to blame?
Michael: Jack.
Jack: Michael.

love the visual’s and feel his pain, yes feel his pain – germs shooting splinters and goop, where is Sigourney Weaver and what role does she play, hopefully Mom is Sigourney and she comes to their rescue and they are feeling better in a day or two just in time for their trip! Oh my..
This is true comedy…at least for me, maybe not for you? Sorry you all had to miss lunch yesterday. :( What did the dr say about them?
I do remember now talking to you on the phone when Michael licked Jack’s fork. (Michael I am sorry, I am not squealing because Jack did throw corn at you) Maybe that corn got stuck in your ear and now you are growing a corn stalk in it. Did they check to see if there is green in your ear? And the goopy stuff in Jack’s eye – that is probably like the slime in Ghostbusters – When and Aunt Jen and Uncle Igor get there Jack will be sitting at the dinner table and all this goop will start pouring down his face and corn will be growing out of your ear and maybe one of Aunt Jen’s eyes will pop out of her head and Uncle Igor will bend down to pick it up and when he finds it it will be in the snakes stomach (I don’t know where the snake came from) and then the snake will bite off Uncle Igors’ hand but then the next day you will all feel better and go to the Grand Canyon (don’t forget the harness for Jack please) Then END
That’s right – the questions was who was to blame? Me of course because that is who you were talking to on the phone when all this was going on. So don’t you dare blame that blue-eyed little one or that freckled face older one. Tell them it was Gramma Teetsie’s fault so you are punishing me and not letting me go the the Grand Canyon. :-) Yup, it was me.
The blame game is played a lot in our house too. I hope everyone feels better before your trip. Jack is great at giving details.

Jack’s descriptions crack me up! They are so very thorough and detailed.
I hope your whole family heals up quickly so you can still make it out to the Grand Canyon! Are you going to camp there?
