Of fever and lausai in the car.

There's just no escaping. The flu bug hops from one to another, from the eldest to the middle to the youngest. It's not so stressed as when they were younger, probably I'm now more a "seasoned nurse" than just a beginner.

I find that both koko and meimei have a lot of similarities, even in terms of their behavior when they fall sick. Both are more clingy, more manja, more difficult. Didi really has his own characteristics and personality. He just lies down on the bed or wherever you tell him to, and would make no fuss. Except when feeding, he would throw back all out if food is given when he's unwell. So, I had to do so in less quantity and more frequency. Sigh.. he seems to look skinnier and skinnier, my inlaws do think I am not feeding them well enough.

Wa see wa, about old folks, they do jump and fuss round the kids when they are sick. Yeah, I'm sure it hurts them like hell, so was I, but it do get pretty annoying when they overdo it. And stressing me even more at times like this. And they tend to provide the advice to feed them with paracetamol even when they have no fever! So that the fever won't come back! Duh!

I used to just "try" and educate my mom that it's not the right way to deal with drugs. But with the inlaws, I just nod my head and quickly cabut. It's really better to be home and away from all of these.

Yesterday, I had to drag meimei along to market as I have to do some marketing. We had wanton mee for breakfast and everything went on fine, it was just a couple of things I need to get and didn't spend much time lingering around. When we were about to go, she told me tearfully that her tummy aches badly and need to go to loo. You know pasat toilets.. can enter?

Nah.. I told her to hang on and I desperately try to get us home as fast as I can. I think the urge subsided a bit then, but halfway, she was in tears again, and hanging on so tightly trying so hard not to lau-sai in her pants and in the car. I really thought she did when the air suddenly became so stenched. Well, what to do? I braved myself for the worst, if she had to, I would just have a lot of "dirt" to clean. Lucky we got on home and she hang on till the butts sat on the toilet bowl. What an emergency! And such a brave girl! Bravo!

I think tomorrow, everyone will be fine again. Keeping fingers crossed.
