Lily and I both had a cold for a few days now, and I seem to do worse than she does. Over the weekend, we went to NJ as planed, and had a lot fun BBQ, swimming and fishing.
Monday morning I woke up and found that I've lost my voice.
Lily got up and came to me: "Good morning, Mommy."
"Good morning Lily." I tried my best making some noise to that effect.
"Mommy you're sick!"
"Yes." I whispered. "So maybe you should be a good girl, and not to make me scream at you today?" I'm making it a joke and laughing inside. I wouldn't miss a chance teaching her (or never miss a chance to relate a bad thought).
"Ok." She said, sincerely and full of sympathy.
I was dashing in and out trying to get ready for going to work, when Lily suddenly said: "Mommy I don't want you to go to work."
From time to time, she would be in those mood not wanting to go to school.
"Why?" I asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Because you are sick!" she said, almost in tears. "It's not good for you!"
Now, I am really surprised. Even if she is so smart and taking advantage of the situation for her own benefit, she doesn't seem to be aware of it. Eventually, I took her advice and stayed home. We both slept around the clock that day.
