[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 15590, member: 1991"] It's good that he's home. Enjoy him while you can. As for why he was in hospital - he could probably honestly say he was ill and needed to be there, that the doctors are still trying to work it out, but they were making sure he got better quickly so he could come home. The kids will be looking for a physical cause - I don't know how well he could fudge that one. Trouble is, trying to not answer would lead to more teasing, in my experience, even though it really is none of their business. Could you help him prepare by making up a nonsense answer? Such as "I was there for a severe case of plumbopendulitis." (let him know privately that "plumbopendulitis" = "swinging the lead". Then he can quietly chuckle but say nothing more. By the time they work it out he should be old news.) Marg [/QUOTE]
