How to get fat FAST

September 2007

I stayed home one day with Liam while he was sick. He had a fever and was not eating much.

Mommy: Taking Liam's temperature.
Liam: "It's done, it beeped."
Mommy: "It's 101.7 now. It went up - you are hotter."
Liam: "But I feel cold."
Mommy: "Yes, sometimes that happen. You are hotter inside your body. You should eat something or have something to drink, anything."
Liam: "I don't want anything."

30 minutes later...
Liam: "I wanna eat something."
Mommy: "Sure, what would you like? Yogurt? Apples? Grapes? Crackers?"
Liam: "I want popcorn."
Mommy: "It's not a good idea to eat popcorn when you are sick. You should eat something healthy."
Liam: "But I want popcorn."
Mommy: "Maybe tonight if you get better."
Liam: "When the seeds from the popcorn are hot, they turn into popcorn, right?"
Mommy: "Yup"
Liam: "We dont have to put the popcorn in the microwave tonight. I can just eat the seeds. Inside of me will make the popcorn pop. But I have to eat slowly or I will get fat really FAST!"
