Aubrey is home from school today with an upset stomach. After I realized her run to the bathroom was going to be more than a one time thing, I cut off her milk supply.
Aubrey: Can I have some more milk Momma?
Me: I don’t think so, it’ll make your tummy hurt worse.
Aubrey: Oh. So I can only have like… Sprite and… Popsicles?
Me: Yes.
Aubrey grinned from ear to ear, ducked her head so I wouldn’t see her smiling and said, “I sort of like being sick just a little bit Momma.”

Funny Girl! Last week Davis said, "Mom, remember when you had surgery and we got to watch LOTS of TV? Maybe you could get sick again, just for a day or two." Um, no thanks!

Mine stayed home yesterday with a stomach bug too. Violently ill for 2 hours, then miraculously curred for the rest of the day. He demanded ICE CREAM AND CAKE just an hour after vomiting. Of course when I get it in 2 days it will take me out for a week ad the only good thing about it is I will feel like I lost weight for a day.
