For the past two months, my daughter and I have been playing a really fun and neat game of pass the cold. I was fortunate enough to have it first, then it was her turn, and like a ping-pong ball, right back to me.
I’ve bragged in the past I RARELY get sick and how my little concoction of vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea keeps the crud away. Well, not this year! I took those stupid pills and I still managed to get sick…twice.
It’s hard to dodge illnesses when your child is in a bubble of contaminants at school all day. They also have the amazing ability to forget to wash hands. How many times have I had to say, “Wash your hands and….um, hey….you need to use soap!”.
At least we’ve dodged the flu, so maybe our flu shots have worked? All I know is, I don’t want another ping-pong match of crud. The game itself is fun, but not when you’re running for tissues and going through cough drops like water!
