We Was Robbed!

We got Dr. Mumbles instead! Dang. I shaved this morning, put on clean clothes, a splash of cologne... all for nothing!

The verdict: A virus. Got some meds, and some input on the reality of THEBOY's "never eat anything" policy. Seriously, these days we're lucky if he eats four bites of his favorite food. The doc isn't concerned, saying THEBOY is clearly NOT undernourished, as he's five inches taller than the average kindergartener.

I watched Dr. Mumbles' lips as he spoke today, and that helped. He only had to repeat about five things to me.

THEBOY went strangely mute when Dr. Mumbles asked him questions. Maybe he couldn't hear him either.

And as the doc left the room, he tousled THEBOY's hair and said, "You talk too much!" and look at me with a startlingly big belly laugh. Okay then.

Well, got some more important sitting around to do. Adios.
