While talking to my newly acquired, greatly treasured new friend Belle, I happened to mention my concern over something that has happened to children in our immediate vicinity. I wanted to know if I was the only one who had noticed the reason for concern, or if there were others who had the same ability to observe that I did.

I heard there were cases of swine flu in Alabama and have a friend an hour or so north who had to keep her children home because their school was closing for a couple of days "just in case." They have not done that here. Apparently the swine flu isn't a serious enough threat in our area to justify such precautions. However, I have noticed a distressingly large number of children who seem to have been infected by a different strain. I have dubbed it the "Whine Flu". All I need to do is walk into WalMart, go to the park, or venture into the mall to hear the symptoms of it. Heck, for that matter, I could walk into my own living room in the last couple of days.

It's a widespread pandemic issue. It's creating pandemonium. Children everywhere are being infected with the Whine Flu (which in turn is making several moms catch the Wine Flu!). They wail and weep and carry on when an authority figure says "no", thus infecting them. However, there is a very real solution. Vaccinations are prescribed for prevention and include regular visits to the laps of moms and dads for regular love and attention, family dinner time where open dialogue in encouraged, and consistent discipline when the need arises. Should your child begin to manifest symptoms of this horribly infectious (and annoying) disease, antibiotics should be administered immediately via the "seat" of understanding.

 Ok, so I looked everywhere and finely found the nice side of my personality hiding under dust bunnies and rarely used ICD-9 texts. Now I am all ready to reply to this post: LOL, this was funny. I was wondering what was wrong with my nephew today. So, having read this I will immediately put my whine flue stricken Punc on my lap and love away. Thanks ServinG, you rock.
