Kid quotes on H1N1 flu

Natasha, 6, wearing loofah bath gloves, "I'm going to eat dinner with these on and wear them to school tomorrow. Germs, germs."


Cameron, 6, on his teacher returning from several days away. "I still don't know what happened. The only sickness that's popular right now is the H1N1."


Cameron: "How was your day?"

Me: "Oh, fine."

Cameron: "Did people talk too much about the H1N1? Because if that happens you should just do this (demonstrates putting a finger in each ear) for two minutes, so you don't have too much talking about the H1N1."


Cameron: "How many flu seasons have you experienced in your life?"

Me: "Um, I guess 35."

Cameron: "Did you count this one?"

Me: "Yes." (laughing)

Cameron: "What?! I don't always understand what everything that you're talking about so I just try to get information."

Me: "That's reasonable."

Pause.

Cameron: "What would be NOT reasonable."

Me: "Um, asking for a 25-scoop ice cream sundae right before bed...?"

Cameron: (giggling)

Cameron: "Mom..? Oh never mind. I'll skip that question."
