Oh, no, I think I have the flu.
See you after I get plenty of rest, fluids and sympathy from a husband who is OUT OF TOWN.
Do you think a four year old can make soup?

Oh honey! I wish I was there to make soup for you. Can you FedEx soup?

@Finn, Umm. I don’t think so. But, you could Fedex yourself.

@SciFi Dad, Sigh. Obviously, you are employed by the nefarious Getting Muslims to Eat Bacon Lobbyists of America.

I think any above average four year old should definitely be able to make soup.

@Avitable, “Making soup” does not mean heating the contents of a can. And I seriously doubt that you can make soup from scratch.
It follows, then, that your abilities lie below that of the above average four year old.
Ha. See what I did there? Kneel before Faiqa.

NO NO NO NO!!!!! The flu is horrible, especially when you have incredibly small, yet enormously demanding, little people. They have a psychic sense and feel the need to amp up the whining and tantrum-throwing when they know you are weak and cotton-headed.
I will drive all the way over there just to make you soup or just to help you climb down off the ledge. Okay? Yes. Good.

@Courtney, I think you’re on to something with the whining/sickness ratio. And, thanks for the soup offer, but you stay far away until I get better… we don’t want to expose YOU to amped up whining!

@Faiqa, I have a force field against whining, amped or otherwise. You’ll get yours once Y is 2 and your life becomes “stop fighting” on a loop.
Seriously thought, if you need something say the word

@Coal Miner’s Granddaughter, Mmmm, JellO. I wish you were here to watch my kids. Seriously. I know that’s a crappy thing to say, but I hope you realize I meant it as a compliment of the highest order.

@Sheila (Charm School Reject), You made me laugh. And then cough. A lot. (And Adam called me five minutes after this post went live and asked me if I needed anything… he really is such a great friend. But you know that.)

I wish 4 year olds could make soup, but when I got mine to make grilled cheese, she burned herself. Right.before.my.eyes!
I hope you feel better.
