- If your child has the stomach flu, even if you think she is over it, do not go out to eat or you will end up covered in puke in the middle of a crowded restaurant.
- If same child has the stomach flu, and is extremely clingy to Mommy, do not allow her to join you on a necessary shopping trip or you will end up covered in puke in the middle of a crowded store.
- If same child has stomach flu, and wants to sleep in your bed, be prepared with an extra large bowl or you will end up covered in puke in the middle of the night (and let’s face it – the bowl probably won’t be of any help, but at least there’s a fighting chance).
- If same child has the stomach flu, don’t be deceived by energy, playfulness, and statements such as “I’m not sick” and “I’m okay”. Believing that she actually is over the disease is inviting more opportunities to be covered in puke.
- If same child has the stomach flu, do not feed her a cherry slurpee. And if you do, do not wear a white shirt (in fact, red is preferable).
- (On a different note). If you hear the words, “I’m not going to run out willy nilly and buy a tv” from your husband after researching and looking at tvs for an entire year, and finally having the model you want drop below the incredibly conservative budget you set, face the fact that you will never get the new tv and learn to live with the flickering screen on your old one.
