Local Toddler Experiences Miraculous Fever Cure Following No-School Announcement

So we were all in a tizzy last evening when The Son came down with a 39.4 degree fever. There was sponge baths, followed by wipe-downs, followed by medicine, followed by lots of fluids and a temperature check every half an hour and much, much discussion about whether or not we should be getting him to the Hospital for some quality treatment.

This morning, he remained listless and had no appetite. We checked his temperature again, gave him more fluids, porridge and as much television as he wanted. Still listless, sad, moping on the couch, some little baby tears and recriminations.

Then I said

No school for you today, Ryan!

And then there was

running
laughing
playing football in the house
shouting at the goalie
pissing off the dog

and

requests to attend at the playground, in search of possible friends and toys.

I used to get that a lot when I was a wee cherub. Now I'm getting it again as an old fart.
