A Medical Diagnosis

Cold and flu season has hit, and I had a lot of absences this week. One girl was out almost all week long. On Thursday, I was walking from the office back to my classroom, and I took a shortcut through the computer lab. Her younger brother was in there with his class.

"Hi, Mrs. Teacher!" he exclaimed enthusiastically. I went over to him to say hi.

"What's wrong with your sister?" I asked.

"She's sick," he informed me.

"I know," I said. Wondering if it was the flu, I then asked, "Does she have a stomach ache?"

"No," he said, "I think she just has snot stuck in her throat!"

"I hate it when that happens," I replied.
