Do I Have To?

Last night Zachary was feeling a bit under the weather. He was fine all day until we got to my mom's and then he had the runs. He went to the bathroom about 20 times in the 2 hours we were there. I started pumping him full of Imodium--the miracle medicine (if you haven't tried it--do so and it will become your new best friend).

He kept telling me that he wasn't going to be able to go to school in the morning and how could he go to school and have to "go" every 5 minutes. I told him that everything would be just fine. As he was going to bed last night he again reminded me that he might not be able to go to school in the morning. I told him to get to bed and the night-time fairy would come and make the diarrhea go away. He rolled his eyes and went to bed.

When he got up this morning he insisted that he should probably not go to school. I asked him when was the last time he had gone. He said last night. I told him to get to eating breakfast and we would see what happened. Can you guess what happened----NOTHING!! I made him get dressed and brush his teeth--still nothing. I made him put his socks and shoes on--still nothing.

I told him to get into the car--still nothing. I dropped him off at school--guess what?!?! Still nothing. When I picked him up from school today he was so excited. He had a substitute teacher and it was a man--best thing ever! The sub let them do their Math homework in class--best thing ever!! He was the coolest sub he has ever had. See what you would have missed if I would have kept you home from school today? The best day ever!! *Am I the best mom or what?! Oh yeah--still nothing!
