This Fight Is At Fever Pitch
(I’m sick, and I have to stay home from school. I start feeling a bit better so I go on the computer in the main room.)
Cousin: “Hey! What’re you doing there? You’re supposed to be sick.”
Me: “I know. I am. I felt well enough to surf the web.”
Cousin: “Yeah right. You just faked being sick to get out of school, didn’t you?”
Me: *offended* “No! I’d never! I’m really sick!”
Cousin: *disbelieving* “Sure, whatever you say.”
(I am very stubborn when I know I’m in the right. So I go and get a thermometer. My cousin and I wait a few seconds.)
Me: *triumphantly* “Ha! 104.5 degrees! In your face! I’m sick!”
(My mom, a nurse, walks in as I yell this. I’m also dancing.)
Mom: “104.5?! You get your butt in bed right now!”
Me: “But, mom!”
Mom: “BED!”
(I won the argument, but I lost the computer.)
