Nora just doesn't get sick. EVER!
And when your kid is blessed with the hearty immune system of her parents, you just take it for granted. Until, the random illness strikes and your child looks at you through pitiful eyes.
''Why am I sick mommy?''
Hmmmm. How to explain?
I can say, do not tell your child that they caught a little bug and it's in their tummy. This only results in an epic freak out about a bug living inside them.
Upon further questioning do not say that you poop out the bug. Your child will now spend ridiculous amounts of time on the potty. Endless coaxing conversations will occur with the 'bug' about how she will sit and sit until it comes out.
Definitely agree that the bug is mean and will be squished by poop. You must find this hysterical.
Do tolerate all the moaning and whining about the little bug.
Under no circumstances give a timeline for the little bug's death. This only results in being asked ever 5 mins if said bug's demise has happened.
If the child is sleeping, you need to sleep too. They might wake up at 4:30 in the morning and want to have a long talk.
Do not get annoyed with the child's chipper disposition the next morning, as they insist the 'spend the night' next to them was fun.
Coffee is essential. Enough said.
