Someday you will learn that your parents are not perfect. This week you would have learned that your parents are not indestructible either. On Wednesday, Daddy was unpleasantly awoken in the early morning with the stomach flu/food poisoning. Today, Mommy was struck with the same. Fortunately, you still seem to have magic immunity that comes from eating breastmilk and not whatever evil substance snuck into the refrigerator. Also fortunately, Daddy and Mommy were really sick on different days, so they were able to trade-off who was taking care of you.

Let’s all raise a glass of room-temperature Gatorade to mornings, afternoons and evenings, hanging out in bed listening to audiobooks and daydreaming about the return of normal digestion.
