I’m sure you’re all affected by this, too because it’s going around. My family has a cold. And because colds, for some reason, get exponentially worse with each person who gets it, we have reached critical mass. In other words – tempers are flaring and despite my repeated admonishments not to, my children are crying thereby producing more snot and making themselves sicker. For the first time in 2 years, I kept someone home from school. But I taught him that it wasn’t a treat so he doesn’t get it in his head that he should get sick more often. You know what I did?
I made him rest in bed.
He may never forgive me.
