Kids Catch The Darndest Things



The 7 year old has come down with his first whammy of an illness. He has been coughing deeply, running a 102 degree fever and has a dischrage from his eyes. We took him to the doctor and come to find out, He has an upper respiratory infection, a sinus infection, possible pink eye and a mild form of Daddyspendstoomuchtimeonthecomputeritis... a potentially incurable ailment.

I am going to have to say that his illness was probably caused from the extensive mental stress that he went through when someone asked him where a rainbow came from. Mental stress has often been linked to a direct cause for physical stress that greatly reduces the capabilities of the body's immune system. So whoever it was that asked the rainbow question... you'll be happy to know that when you don't have medical insurance a doctor's visit costs $70 while the prescription costs $45. Now there are only 34 cents left in the leprechaun's pot of gold. Talk about a cheap leprechaun !!!!!

We interupt this blog for breaking news....

The popular labor union known as ALLGOLD (American Leprechaun Labor Guild Of Lost Doubloons) has created an account to offset the cost of The 7 Year Old's medical costs after the parents petitioned the Union for lack of sufficient funds in the "Pot O' Gold" insurance policy that was purchased after the last rainbow appearance in East Texas. If you wish to contribute to the account, please click on the "Donate Now" button below.
We now return you to your regular scheduled Blog...

I have no idea what that was...

but mine is not to reason why, mine is but to do or die. P.S. The new format (until he gets well) is to ask a very sick little boy a question that will probably be answered in a drug induced state... but it's just antibiotics, so don't get any bright ideas.
