“Sickies”

Sean stayed home from school again today. He is sick. This morning, the left side of my throat hurt when I swallowed. I’ve always told Sean that he needs to stay healthy because if he gets sick, that means that I will get sick and then I said that I will die! I would say it but I didn’t really believe it until this morning when my throat hurt. When my Mom got here, I asked her to make this drink that is supposed to help. It has apple cider vinegar in it so it’s disgusting but my throat hurt.

Sean got out of his bed and my Mom asked who she was making it for first. I told her to make it for Sean and he drank it and thought it was really gross and I knew it would be. I just told him that I had to drink it too! My mom put together chicken soup for Sean and for lunch, I just drink the broth.

I told Sean that we are two, “Sickies.” Sean corrected me that he is a, “Sickie” and I am not. I told him that it is very possible that I can get really sick and even be hospitalized if I don’t nip this one in the bud. I told my Mom that we need a red X on our house or a skull and cross bones on the door because this house is sick. hopefully, we both will get over it soon but I can feel my head pounding right now.
