"Daddy, your temperature is high."

I got sick since last week and it went worse this weekend, with throat infection and a fever. Baby was obviously concerned, called "emergence vehicle" numerous times with his cell phone and checked my temperature whenever he got chance.

What amused me most was the dialogue regarding my temperature. Whenever he used his little hand to touch my forehead (like we normally do when he is sick.), he would say, "Daddy, you got a temperature." Then I would tease him by asking "Is that a low, medium or high." (Soulds like an FMEA meeting.). Baby's answer was always, "Daddy, your temperature is high." He would also check my "ear wax." and the end result was normally "a little ear wax."

Being sick also provides the rare opportunity to reflect on life, to think about what one should and should not have done.
