Yesterday Liz wasn’t feeling too good and went outside to get some fresh air. She asked if I could get her a bowl because she felt as if she was going to throw up. I brought one out to her. The kids asked what the problem was and I told them that mommy wasn’t feeling good and she may throw up. They weren’t quite sure what that all meant and just watched. Within a few minutes, their short attention span drew them to playing and on with their usual activities. But then Joshua remembered something and started running up the stairs. I asked him what he was doing and he responded, “I want to see mommy throw up!” I told him that she wasn’t upstairs but outside to which he immediately turned around and literally ran to the family room to peer out the door to see if she was going to throw up! It was if he turned this into a sport of some sort. What kind of boy — oh, ya, he’s a boy.

I won’t go into details after this but only to say Joshua got his wish soon after. Today we were at the car dealer picking up Liz’s truck from it’s free oil change and Joshua told me, “I want to see mommy throw up, again.” Ya, that’s my boy! :))
