Well, I'm laughing about it. Does that count?? Are they ok? Poor Pat! On his birthday too! Was this the same bug you had last week? Where my kids seemed to always have had ear and respiratory infections, yours seem to get stomach things. I can only remember mine throwing up once or twice, so I am probably not as sympathetic as I should be. It must be terrible. ANd poor Mollie--My brother was one of those people who couldn't even hear someone gag without gagging along. I had a lot of fun with that. I love the image of the little boy walking along with the ball like a dog. Did they put those bumpers up so at least they don't throw 20 gutter balls?

This is a little late, but if we're talking about barfing birthdays, I should tell this story. Or maybe I shouldn't, but what the hell, I will anyway. When Joey turned 8 one of his presents was a ride in a small plane over the crater of Pinatubo. There's a fellow here with a seaplane, an ex-Navy pilot, who takes people up for the sights, which are quite impressive. I had been up once, on a perfectly calm day, and knew immediately that he'd love it. So when the morning arrived, the day after the party, we had leftover cake and ice cream for breakfast, waltzed off to the seaplane, tossed Joey in the front, the rest of us in the back, and went off to see the crater. To make a long story short, we encountered major turbulence, the plane got tossed about like it was paper, and we never got over the crater. Barf entered heavily into the scene, and Joey swore he would never enter a small plane again. That was the grand birthday present. This year (next month, actually) I think I'll stick with hardware and software.
