The kids have been sick so they have been home from school the last few days. It just so happened that my mother phoned to have a chat and of course she went paranoid on me when she heard the kids were sick- she's convinced the kids have got swine flu and are thus in need of urgent medical attention!
I had to rush the kids to the doctor to prevent my mother from getting on the first plane from Spain to rescue her grandchildren from their ignorant mother(moi). The nurse assured me that besides a mild ear infection and a little exam nerves - my kids are fine. No need for granny to leave Spain.
We received a leaflet about swine flu in the post today. It reads "Important information about swine flu..... symptoms are sudden onset of fever, cough or shortness of breath". No wonder gran is convinced that everybody has got swine flu - that description fits just about every flu virus symptom out there!
Love is...

You are so funny! :D
My in-laws are very paranoid about the virus as well. They told us to avoid crowned places... come on guys, this is Canada, nowhere is crowned! :D
I wonder how many kids are going to try to convince their parents they have swine flu symptoms in order to skip school... I know I would have had!
