Olivia and Hudson have been taking care of Olivia's baby dolls the last few days. Making serious efforts to feed, nap, dress, and entertain them. It's been rather hilarious. Tonight, Hudson was very worried about one of them. Here's the conversation...
Me: Hudson, it's time to put things away to go to bed.
Hudson: But Momma, one of the babies is sick. I have to give it its medicine.
Olivia: Yeah, it has the "lu".
Me: The what?
Olivia: The "lu". We thought it was the flu, but it didn't have a fever, so it's just the "lu".
Me: So the "f" in "flu" stands for fever?
Olivia: (very matter-of-factly) Yes.
Guess we should all get the "lu" shot as well as the flu shot. Hey, and don't make fun of my boy -- he's just learning to be a good daddy like the one he has!
*** Added on Sunday, 10/26 -- Olivia was reading this post today and asked me . . .
Olivia: What's laryngitis?
Me: It's where you can't talk.
Olivia: We thought "flu" stood for Fever, Laryngitis, and Upset stomach
Me: laughed and added it to this post immediately!
