I lay in bed all day dying from mastitis and viruses and all the germs.<\/p>\n
Abe and my mom were heroes and did everything while I lay around doing nothing.<\/p>\n
Abe and Mary did have an amusing argument at dinner, which I shall transcribe:<\/p>\n
Abe: Mary, you are not in charge, I am charge!<\/p>\n
Mary: Yes, but I am in charge of this argument<\/strong>! This is my food<\/strong> that we are arguing about so this is my argument<\/strong> and I am in charge of it<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Abe: Mary, it is not your food. It is my food. Who bought the food?<\/p>\n Mary: You did.<\/p>\n Abe: Who made the food?<\/p>\n Mary: You did. (Actually, most of the food was made by Chelsea, who generously made us dinner, but the food in question was soup microwaved by Abe.)<\/em><\/p>\n Abe: Who gave you the food?<\/p>\n Mary: You did.<\/p>\n Abe: It’s not your food, Mary. It’s my food, and I’m just trying to help you be healthy.<\/p>\n Mary: You’re just trying to be bossy.<\/p>\n Abe: No I’m trying to help you be healthy and if you don’t want dessert (pineapple–we are trying to eliminate sugar\u00a0<\/em>)that’s fine, you don’t have to eat your food. I’m not arguing with you anymore.<\/p>\n Mary:\u00a0HUMPH!<\/strong><\/p>\n Mary is the only person I know who actually, truly “humphs.” I had never heard a “humph” until I met five-year-old Mary. She accompanies her “humph” with a toss of her hair and an indignant lift of her chin. It’s astonishing.<\/p>\n It’s the eve of Lydia’s birthday. We have discovered that birthdays are hard on the sister not having a birthday. When Abe tried to get Mary to do her homework this afternoon, she screamed, “ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS LYDIA’S BIRTHDAY!!!” Sigh. Hopefully we all survive tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I lay in bed all day dying from mastitis and viruses and all the germs.
