Spottier

Hal is obviously one of those types who likes to take a germ and give it time to do its thing. Starting from just a few spots on Saturday he now looks like something out of a Warner cartoon that's just had a wasps nest dumped on its head. He also refuses to be painted with Calamine because it's pink. I'm also keeping an eye on his mouth because he says it hurts to eat and I'm not betting on it just being a sore throat from the cough. I'm just hoping that this is all the spots now and it's uphill from here. He's certainly not going to school for a week.

Oh, ow. Poor Hal. I'd say 'give him a hug from me' only it would probably make him itch more.

You could try telling him that when calamine dries it makes you look as if you've got leprosy...

Not sure he's going to be convinced by that but could try. May have to wait till he's asleep then sneek attack.
