Hi Mom?  Guess what I did today!

(Oh Lord, last time I heard this it was tattoo #3)  “I’m afraid to ask”

“I went with Cat…to get her nipples pierced for her 18th birthday!”

“Oh.  Um…does this mean you want your nipples pierced now?”

“Ewe no….and man she screamed so loud!   It was funny!  Jazz held one hand & I held the other while they pierced them….It was that real thick, 14 gage metal rod! ….Oh my God she screamed so loud!”

“Well, uh yeah, I’d scream too if I had metal shoved through my nipples.”

What better way is there for 3 girls who just met at college to bond…then to hold their hands as one gets her nipples pierced? *shudder*  (That’s my snarkiness coming out)

“Hi mom?  Guess where I’m at right now?”

“The tattoo parlor?”

“No…..guess again”

(I took a couple more guesses…..)   “I don’t know where arrrre you?” (afraid of the answer)

“I’m at the ER with Bob, Cole and Cat.   Cole passed out and felt sick.   He’s on IV’s and morphine for a bad headache.  He’s dehydrated and they think he might have the flu.   You know…two kids got sent home this week for suspected swine flu.”

“Greeeeat.”

“Don’t worry, I’m Purelling.   I promise.  I have that huge bottle you gave me.”

“Well, make sure the sick people stay out of your room and you out of theirs.  Those dorm rooms are small you know…someone spews and then you’re breathing in their germs.   You might as well just lick their nose.  And no hugging.  Sneeze and cough in your elbow.  And breathe through your NOSE…because your nose has those little hairs that filter stuff from the air.  And Purell.  Oh, and tell Cole I hope he feels better.   But for God’s sake…don’t get tooo close when you tell him.”

“Okay, I’ll text him”

“Even better idea.  Yeah, text him.”

Update: Tests confirm Cole didn’t have the flu, mono or meningitis. Just a virus. Oh, and Kaylee is sick now. Oh…and the two suspected swine cases? Now are confirmed.  Btw, can you tell I’m a germaphobe?
