    There’s a way it can register faster but you probably won’t like it, Calvin.

    Luckily, I don’t get sick often, so I never had this problem during summer vacation. Unfortunately, that meant I didn’t miss school much. That didn’t stop me from faking an “upset stomach” from time to time >: )

    One year at the beginning of summer vacation my 3 sisters got the measles and I didn’t! I never got them.

    Good one mum. Calvin rests & so does mum. It’s a win-win situation.

    It could be worse kid. You could be sick AND have a rectal thermometer. Gad, I’m glad they aren’t using those at the airport.

    Look far in to the future, Calvin, and you’ll see that temperatures will be taken instantly without being touched and get you dumped somewhere worse than your mom’s couch.

    Really, those older thermometers took two hours to register? Maybe I’m so used to electronic thermometers I forgot what it was like…

    Not every infectious agent manifests itself in an elevated temperature; the common cold rarely if ever does.

    You have to give Mom credit for finding a good way to get some quiet out of Calvin. Wonder if other parents have tried this.

    This should be included in the “fibs our parents told us” series that the folks over at Baldo like to run from time to time.

    In the 1950s parents encouraged their kids to play with an infected kid, so that they would catch the infection and “get it over with”. My little sister caught mumps. The doctor said that I would get it either for my birthday or the school holidays. I didn’t think much of either option, so I decided I wouldn’t get it at all. Although I was with my sister constantly, reading stories to her and doing jig-saw puzzles, I never caught mumps – ever.

    One time, during the school year, I gave it the usual three minutes and saw that it was reading 98.8. So I put it under the hot water in the bathroom. Blew the top out of it. Woops. Got the lecture and had to go to school.

    Forgive my ignorance but is there a term for someone who refuses to realize that there absolutely are methods to determine your health? Sure, mom still is a little old school the the mercury thermometer, but it works!
