Cootie Day
For the past few weeks, we’ve had my buddy Isaac over one day each week. He just had a baby brother (Elijah), and Mom thought Isaac’s Mom might need a little break. But this week Mom decided she was going to bring us to the playground, and then to Chick-Fil-A for lunch, instead of just hanging out at home.
When we got to the playground everything was soaking wet, since it had rained the night before. Mom went and got a blanket out of the car, and while she tried to dry off all the equipment (more like, swirled the water around on it actually), me and Isaac ran our trucks up and down the bleachers. And actually, Isaac did a better job of drying everything off than Mom did because he got to the slide before she did and his pants soaked up most of the water. Hey, thanks Dude! He didn’t seem to mind one bit.
After a little while my neighbor Sean, and his Mom showed up. They didn’t have anything to do this morning so they decided to join us. We all did some swinging, went up the rock climbing wall, ran around on the soccer field, and went down the slide a bunch of times. One time, when we were racing our cars along the bleachers, Isaac wiped out on the wet bench and fell down. But he popped right back up and started yelling “Kiss It, Kiss It” at the top of his lungs. I felt bad, but it was so funny that I couldn’t stop laughing. Mom went running over, gave him a kiss and he was good as new. That was certainly an easy fix.
So when we were done here, we went over to Chick-Fil-A which was right down the street. We had a little lunch and ran around in the play area for a bit. Man, Isaac’s the fastest dude I know. He’s like lightning. It wears me out just watching him.
Now comes the cooties part of the day. That night, after I went to bed, Mom got a call from Sean’s Mommy saying that both Sean and his older brother Logan have the swine flu. Oy. Not good news. Especially since we spent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with them. Now I guess we just sit and wait and see what happens.
