Song of the day: Party by Chris Tomlin

Gotta love Hypochondriacs! You give them a book on any medical issue, that includes a list of symptoms, and within the hour they will have every one of those symptoms plus others they've picked up along the way. It's absolutely astounding how they can become diabetic without the expertise of a doctor, and yet still survive perfectly fine without any insulin, or anything! All you have to do is mention you have a headache, they are suddenly overcome with your pain! It's great! And I find that kids are superb hypochondriacs. Just ask them to do a chore, or clean something and you watch how quickly they have a stomach ache, or a headache, but once the chore is done, magically their ailments disappear, and they are perfectly healthy to go and play with their friends. Ah the power of suggestion....it's a beautiful thing. :o)

Yay! Tennille, you've entered Blog Land! I'm so incredibly excited. And I'm the first one to post on your blog! Do I get a prize?

I must agree with you that kids are superb hypochondriacs. Mine get frequent illnesses at chore times that magically disappear once I've done the chores.

You've hit the proverbial nail on the head. My kids seem to come down with mysterious illnesses at homework time. They are simply too sick to even open their eyes and look at a book.

Sonya,
Is my enduring friendship not enough? That I have to show you with materialistic examples of my love is almost insulting! (Then again, as long as you do the same for me, it's all good baby! :o) )
