It's not a very fun time when Laurence is sick. He's up all night coughing and sneezing. Makes weird poops, which come in assorted colors; brussels sprout green, mustard yellow,and diarrhea green.Enough with the good talk. His snot is stringy and clear,[unless it has dried milk bits in it]This all means mom will not pay attention;she will sleep in till 8:32;she will ignore you. You'll be bored. [this was my morning]

Wow, I can totally relate to this. What a great description of the way illness affects the whole family. The vivid colors and textures made me feel like I was right there. I could almost smell... hang on, I have to go throw up.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, your narrative is is vibrant in colour I can smell the impact over here in Sydney. ...oops hot to run... I'm going to join your dad
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Molly. I felt a mild case of the flu coming on just from reading your detailed description.
ReplyDeleteOne question you might be able to help me with is: what is the difference between brussel sprout green and diarrhea green? We're scratching our heads over here but I'm not ready to eat the requisite number of brussel sprouts and Jade isn't prepared to do what it takes to test the diarrhea green...come to think of it, I don't think either of us want to test either of them. We wait with bated breath.
What about your poor mum, she must have been up and down several times in the night
