Coming into this thread late, but my protocol for having a cold?
- Figure out which kid got me sick.
- Blame it on the youngest, because it's usually him.
- Bitch about it for four days.
- Go on strike and make everyone else in the house do all of the housework.
- Give it to the next victim in the house.
