Truth or Dare
Nov 29th, 2007 by Tana
Today we’re having the mom-version of Truth or Dare, based on the following conversation.
Ben: Mommy, I don’t feel good.
Me: What’s wrong?
Ben: I have an earache.
Me: Which ear hurts?
Ben: Both of them.
This conversation takes places as Ben is wallering on the living room rug in an old blanket we used to cushion the TV when we brought it up from Oklahoma after my grandmother’s funeral.
So…is he telling the truth? Or not?
Yesterday he spent the day playing with the circle doors he saw when we visited the Nebraska Capitol Building the day before. (Who would have known we have such doors all over our house?) Today, he’s sick.
And God knows, if I take him to the doctor, he won’t have an ear infection, but if I keep him at home, he’ll suffer horribly. Reality bites. I know.
I think when he stops leaving the nest he so painstakingly built to go stop Joey from playing with one of his toys, that’s when we’ll take him to the doctor.
Only time will tell.
Oh and yes, Joey is feeling much better. The magic of antibiotics and baby Tylenol are working quite well, thank you.
