Random thoughts from my kid...

Can you tell I'm usually too busy to post that often? My 6-year-old and I were heading to his pediatrician's office for a follow-up visit to see if his asthma regimen was working (it is). On the drive over, my son went into one of his frequent and elaborate tales regarding one of his imaginary friends (otherwise known as "treehouse people"). I was informed that today's friend was "Rick" and was riding in the car "right here next to me NOW, Mommy!" When I enquired as to the reason for Rick's accompanying us to to the doctor, I was informed that Rick needed 5 shots. Naturally I asked why Rick needed 5 shots. "Chickenpox, Mom!" "Chickenpox? He needs 5 shots for chickenpox?" "Yeah, he has 3 chickenpox in one knee, and 2 in the other one, Mom!" Good thing I was off the freeway already. It's hard to drive when you're laughing so hard you can't see straight...
