This is the story about a sick croupy girl, a bell, and some incompetent parents. Well, at least to the sick croupy girl.
The MyMy was placed under quarantine in the parents room while the older sister had a friend over.
The room was prepared- pillows fluffed, television turned to cartoons, a nice soft, warm blanket for cover. The MyMy was tucked in and made all comfy for a fun afternoon in mommy and daddy's bed. Since the parents were busy accomplishing duties, they were unable to spend the day in bed too. But, a cow bell was given to the MyMy, to ring at her beck and call, for much needed supplies and assistance.
The bell soon rang for ice to soothe the head, a moment later the bell was ringing wildly to turn the fan off, and then on, and then off again. Another ring to shut the door and yet another ring from the MyMy requesting the knowledge of my love for her. The ringing bell kept the servant busy, yet, kept the child in confinement, which was the ultimate goal.
When the daddy returned, from his errands from afar, the mommy took the older daughter, LuLu, and her friend to spend some time at the pool. After an hour at the pool the cell phone rang.
It was the MyMy all confused that I would be answering the daddy's phone.
"What are you doing answering daddy's phone?" and, "Where are you?" asked the MyMy.
"I am at the pool." I replied.
"I have been ringing the bell and you didn't come. I was calling daddy to see why you didn't show up." MyMy exclaimed. "Where is daddy?"
"I left him at the house to take care of you. Daddy will answer the bell." I responded hopefully.
"I have rang the bell 4 times." The exasperated MyMy said.
I then asked the MyMy to hang the phone up and I would call daddy to tell him to answer the bell.
When Daddy answered the phone, he was shocked that I would be the one informing him that the bell was ringing and that he had been negligent in his servant duties. Apparently the Daddy had just finished the very important task of filling the MyMy's tummy, less than 2 minutes before, and had yelled a "what do you need?" from a distance, instead of a face to face meeting.
Obviously this child is sicker than we thought-in more ways than one!
P.S.- The MyMy has discovered another way to cover her mouth when she coughs and her hands are too tired........she uses her feet! A very resourceful girl she is.
Another post script- Since croupy girl was keeping me up during the night, I had plenty of time to think. Is sicker a word? Or, should it say more sick? I am so confused. I need English help-ok I know I need lot's of help, but let's take one step at a time- shall we?
