Phone call

You know your children are smart when you get this phone call...

Son: Mom?

Me: Yes

Son: Ok so do I have to be running a fever not to go to school?

Me: Sigh (we took his temperature earlier. no fever. just a cough--school worthy). I think you should either be burning up or throwing up, yes.

Son: Really? I don't feel good.

Mom: I am sorry. If you start feeling bad, go to the nurse.

Son: I called Dad and he said I should go to school too.

Mom: Good.

Son: So I guess I will go. Maybe I will feel better.

Mom: Ok. Have a good day!

Son: Ok. Maybe I can go outside when I get home and ride my bike.

Mom: I thought you were sick.
