My daughter, Danni, has never been sick. Sure she has had the sniffles and she has gotten a mild fever but she has never vomited until last Wednesday.

Danni had puked during snack time at school. Chelsea, my wife, went and got her. On the way home, Danni asked if she could have some juice. My wife pulled into Kroger to get some. While they were in the aisle for juice, Danni spotted cups. “Mommy I need cup.” As any parent who has had a sick child known you will pretty much do anything to make them feel better. My wife reached for the cheap Kroger brand cup. “Mommy I want Princess cup.” Chelsea caved and got her for the Princess cup.

At the check out line, Danni saw a “Happy Birthday” balloon in the shape of a butterfly. “Oh pretty butterfly Mommy, can I have ballon.” Chelsea said no and this is what She (Danni) said,

“Oh. So sick, tummy hurt. Oh mommy it hurts. So sick.”

There was a Happy Birthday butterfly shaped balloon in her room when I got home.

I blog almost daily at Buck’s Blog and have an on going segment over there called Daddy Dairies.
