I love all the children in my family. I really do. Under all that cuteness though lies deep-seated, hidden disease and pestilence like one has never experienced before.
I spent the night with my brother and his family weekend before last, started getting sick last Tuesday and have been sick ever since. I mean the ragged, "bring out your dead" kind of sick.
It was inevitable, 3 children, 3 different contagions all manifested - head, chest and GI.
I love them, but the next visit I'm going and staying in full CDC level protective gear - with a respirator. Or maybe one of those giant hamster bubble balls. Webcams may be a viable alternative.
Seldom.
