Kids make you liars
Ok so most people at some point will have a child who looks like death warmed up, not eating, not drinking, lethargic.
All attempts of calpol, snacks and small amounts of fluid but nope, this kid is very ill.
This child doesn’t want to play, just wants to lay there, he looks pale, but he’s hot, he has a rash on his stomach.
Ok it’s time to get this kid to the hospital he could have something seriously wrong, he’s never quiet, he’s never still.
He doesn’t wake up when carried out to the car, even going over the speed bumps, I run into the hospital like some sort of scene from a movie, child draped across my arms.
We are directed to the children’s waiting room, it’s full of colourful toys, tv in the corner and a colouring table.
Kid bursts back into action, running round like a looney.
Dancing to the theme tune of the tv program, stacking up books and pushing the toy truck on the floor.
Seriously Doctor he was really ill, he’s barely moved all day, he’s not eaten.
The Doctor brings him a digestive biscuit and he gobbles it down.
This child has the go to diagnoses of a viral infection.
I am now a big fat liar making out my kid is so so so ill but shock horror he’s had a miraculous recovery
