Mom, I don’t feel too
good ”
“Do I have to go to school
today’”
And how often has that
lament echoed through your
house during the early
momxng muddle of getting
the family off for another
day?
Call it whatever you like
the “bug”, the “flu,” a
• ‘virus’ ’ or just your plain old
garden-vanety common cold
or upset tummy Any one, or
any combination, of the
“midwinter malaise’’
symptoms is a legitimate
excuse for a youngster to
claim a sick day oc
casionally.
I’m firmly convinced that
to a school-age child, an
occasional sick day - at least
when he’s not feeling too
miserable - is a necessary
and vital security blanket in
which a youngster can wrap
himself, enveloped in the
cozy warmth of undivided
parental concern.
At our house, a sick day
represents lolling around
from breakfast to bedtime in
pajamas and robe’ stretched

Then the pleas begin.
“Mom, I’ll take a cup of
tea now.”
“Mom, can you get me the
TV magazine 7”
“Mom, can you find me a
pencil 7”
“Mom, can I have a glass
of juice?”
“Mom, do you have time to
play a game 7”
“Mom, come and look at
Tigger and Fuzzface ”
(These two spoiled
housecats dehght in curling
under the blanket with any
patient claiming the sofa )
Etc., and so forth it goes,
unless Mom takes cover at
the bam or hides between
the washer and dryer
downstairs in the basement
and folds laundry
You can safely guess at
how much work ole’ Mom
gets accomplished on one of
these days.
After a recent seige with
assorted “bugs,” I searched
through my wife-mother
contract, scanning the fine
print with a magnifying
glass.
Sure enough, there it was:
“Care of temporarily ailing
children and husbands is to
be rendered un
complainingly upon
demand.”
At the bottom of the
contract was a footnote:
“Wife-mothers are
prohibited from taking ill.
Claims to sick-time care
shall be disregarded.”
We knew that all along,
didn’t we ?
