That is Too. Weird. Last weekend, when we were in NYC, we were talking to a friend who knew someone or someone's kid or something, and they had just gotten Scarlet Fever, and we talked about how weird it was. Now this kidlets have it! Parents should be WARNED about this kind of stuff. At least you don't need to ditch their Velveteen Rabbits, anymore.
Nope! While I was diagnosed with it, it turned out to be regular old mono, misdiagnosed. Why the doctor chose that, when I own no cats and never went outside, instead of giving me the old mono test, I'll never know. I actually had to REQUEST it after not getting better for three months. Sigh.
Well, though I love him like a brother, this is obviously Jim's fault. The boys have picked up little house on the prairie syndrome sympathy infection! I'd watch out for Consumption, Rickets, The Vapors, La Grippe, Falling sickness, Scurvy, The Pox, and of course, Bad blood. If any of these other ailments present themselves you must bloodlet the boys to get rid of bad humors and a liberal application of leeches to the spine should be prescribed as well. Try a tonic of castor oil, honey, and white lightning corn whiskey to treat any and all ailments and progress to laundanum if symptoms persist. As a means of prevention, I suggest rubbing the boys with light bulbs, raidos, the computer, or any other modern technological device. In fact, you might just want to go ahead and adhere some small solar cells and semiconductors to their foreheads. And if you can figure out how to feed them a cell phone or an ipod... I hope the boys get better. Love you all. Take care of yourselves!
