"Choose Your Bug"

The third grade girl sat across the aisle from a second grade boy.  It wasn't long before a conversation started about what they did over the weekend.  She started with the usual, "What did you do over the weekend?"  "Not much," he replied, "I was sick most of the weekend and didn't even go outside."  "Me too!" she responded and then continued "I went to the bathroom so many times that my bottom hurts today."  He chimed in with, "My bottom hurts too and I threw up this yellow stuff most of the day Saturday."  The conversation continued, with details including amounts and colors.  At one point in the conversation they both agreed they were hungry because they hadn't eaten much over the weekend.  Now if you know anything about lasting relationships it's the things that we share and have in common that bring us together.  So that is why after a discussion comparing bodily fluids the next logical thing to happen was this.  She said, "Wouldn't it be great if we could go somewhere some time and eat together?"  Years and years from now they will be able to tell their children how they were brought together by the Love Stomach Bug.
