Well, it seems the entire clan here is under the weather. It started with my oldest daughter developing a fever last week that we could not track down the source even with a trip to the pediatrician. Today it was off again, with myself, my middle daughter, and youngest son all getting diagnosed with strep
I feel so miserable I can hardly sit here to type, much less sew. Anyway, to the topic title, this morning my dd asked me what I thought was wrong with all of us, and this little line jumped to my lips like it was yesterday "Well, we have Etheaopian Glunkititis of course." She looked at me all puzzled and I went on to explane that it was when you just felt really bad and didn't know why. My father always told me that when I was little to explane everything from the common cold to the chronic migrains I have had since I was an infant. He always made it a lighthearted thing - it was cured by pizza and ice cream with chocolate sauce
Sarah informed me that I am "weird".
So just how weird are my father and I - how many of you out there have silly little names for unnamed ailments that I know we all have from time to time. I'm just curious and think it might be fun to share - that or my fever is just talking to me
