reasoning with kelli

kelli is feeling much better. she's eating a lot better, and she only takes her pain medicine at night. but i know that she's feeling more like her old self because of what she said to me this morning.

most people know that if kelli can get out of doing something on her own, she will. i've never seen anyone try as hard as she does to get someone else to do something for her. it's a gift, i suppose.

anyway, this morning i was getting ready while she was still in bed. she woke up and we were talking for a few minutes when she put on her pathetic sick voice and said, "can you bring me the remote?"

i knew she wasn't really sick, so i told her to get it herself. her response was:

"but i have a canker sore and i can't get out of bed."

oh well, that changes everything!

so there you have it people-if you have a canker sore, then you can't get out of bed and therefore don't have to go to work. who knew?



(for the record, kelli is a hard worker. i thought i'd put that in there so kelli doesn't hurt me in my sleep or anything like that. but i know for a fact that the rest of my family is laughing because they know this story is true.)
