[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 565694, member: 2196"] difficult child 1 started feeling sick on Tuesday night with a sore throat and bad headache. By Wednesday morning she developed a cough and runny nose so I took the day off work to make a dr. appointment for her. Before going to the docs, I went to Mcdonald's while difficult child was sleeping and bought myself a soda. I came home and put the soda on the counter. I went to the bathroom and difficult child woke up. I went into the kitchen to take a drink of my diet coke. As soon as I took a sip, difficult child tells me, "Oh by the way, I just took a sip of that." Wha??? Um, excuse me, young lady, you're sick as a dog and you know I could catch it from you!!!
