How'd you do? I bet you got a 100 on this quiz!

Still, moments of cuteness emerge from the sick bay. Today, one day after she threw up, Allie said, "Mommy? You remember when I threw up? And I threw up on the couch? And I threw up on the floor? Remember that? And I had to get a bath? And I was upset?"

Why, yes, sweetie, I do remember that. Poor thing.

Here's hoping tomorrow's better...
