When I was 14yo I got chickenpox. The one thing you didn't do was wake my mom without sufficient reason. Only recently did I remember that between waking sick with a nasty, itchy rash and telling my mom that I had chickenpox, I checked The Book and diagnosed myself. Hahaha. She felt a little guilty, actually, when I told her that. But I thought it was pretty cool that I could figure it out by myself (yep, I was that kid).
It was later donated and I thought I'd never be able to find a copy: I couldn't even remember the title. But after a few searches on Amazon I found it! Best of all, the edition from my childhood is 1¢ :) Guess whose Christmas came early? lol
What a fun memory! And if I ever have kids I'm going to have to train them like your mom. I didn't know that was possible. But I needs my sleep.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! And thats so funny what you did. All kids should be that self sufficient and I'd consider adopting one.

ReplyDeleteI think it's my personality to be self sufficient. I got so sick with chickenpox, though, and my mom nursed me for days.

ReplyDeleteLol, she's a bit like a bear woken from hibernation ;) That trained me well, plus I'd rather take care of myself when possible.
