Top to Bottom

Part 1: Top

The Boy has been a bit sick the last few days. Poor little shaver has been up in the middle of the night throwing up. This is usually preceded by a bout of coughing. During the day he doesn't seem so bad except that he has a runny nose and no appetite.

We were setting up to play a game of Monopoly Junior when he sniffed and wiped his nose with the length of his long sleeve ... elbow to wrist.

Me: Oh, man. Use a tissue, sweetheart.

Boy (inspects his sleeve): It's all right. There's no snot.

Part 2: Bottom

I'm up early every morning to get ready to go to work. My day runs from 7 am to 3 pm which means, as usual, it's just one side or the other of 6 in the morning when I'm coming out of the shower.

There's a Boy, awake too early, beaming up at me, sitting on the toilet having a poop.

Boy: Turn off the fan so it's as stinky as possible.
