A Goopy Little Bug

A flu bug has taken up residence at our house.

A nasty, germy, little bug.

Green and scaly, he has been diligently toiling away, working hard to cast his evil, goopy spell.

And, now?

High fevers and seal like croupy coughs all around.

Not sure how he managed to get past my flu barriers. My Lysol and hand sanitizer arsenal is most impressive.

Some say he caught a ride on my two year old’s lovey. He most likely seized his opportunity during one of her grocery cart rides.

Others say my preschooler brought it home from school, joyriding on one of her art projects.

Fingers have pointed at hubs. Lots of germs in office cubicles and Starbucks coffee houses.

Of course, it could have piggy backed on one of our library books. Lord knows the crowd at the library has been looking a bit sniffly lately.

Somehow, somewhere, there was a hole in our defense and the little buggy fella crept right in.

So far, he’s knocked out half the family. With all of the nightly coughing and hacking, I am teetering on the edge of wellness myself.

Looks like he can claim this house as another win. I think it’s time that cocky little beastie departs. And, soon. But, I hope he doesn’t boast about his easy win to his slimy pals.

‘Cuz we’re not going down so easy a second time.

As a matter of fact, that little bugger better watch his back.

That little rascal really cocked my pistol. And, this is one pissy Mamma hot for revenge.
