Solitary Confinement

Kachoooooo….   Bless you.  Kachoooooo….    Bless you.

Mom-m-m – it’s only allergies!

Mom-m-m – I don’t have a cold!

Mom-m-m – I’m not infectious!

Where did you get this stupid thing, anyways?? If I take an antihistamine, and stop sneezing, can I take it off and go outside? I’ll mow the lawn. (No, wait! That’s probably why I’m sneezing in the first place.) It’s a nice day. I want to go surfing with the guys.

How come I have to stay in here? I’m bored! There’s nothing in here except Rory’s stuffed toys. Can I at least have my tablet and game console? Mom-m-m?!

    I like the implied action by mom here, and the extreme solution to his problem.

  7. Dear Archon,

    Sounds like Mom needs to have those stuffed animals looked into. 😉 Going surfing with the guys might help him more than staying home.

    Shalom,

      My mind often takes, “the path less traveled.” I just couldn’t do anything with the “Devil studio light”, but plan to keep trying each week. Thanx for the visit and comment. 🙂

  11. Familiar I’m sure to anyone with kids. 🙂 Probably familiar also to anyone who’s been around kids. Maybe he’s hoping Mom will get tired of the complaining and let him go out so she can get some peace. Good story. 🙂

  12. I’m imagining him sneezing inside the diver’s helmet, which would be not only unhealthy but really disgusting. 🙂 I would have asked for a book, but that’s old-fashioned too often now.
