Tummy Ache

I volunteer at the school on Fridays. First I go to Evan's room, then Owen's. During their work time, Evan told me he had a bad stomach ache. He's already been in the nurse's office a couple of times this year, so I tried to redirect him. No fever, no vomit, no sniffle, cough or pink eye, so he should be OK, right?

Wrong. 2:00 a.m. I wake up to a scream, "MOM!" in the most accusatory tone you have ever heard. First he said, "Am I going to miss my game the next day?" Buddy, your game is in a couple of hours. Yes you are going to miss it. Then he said, "Why am I throwing up?" Poor guy. Two hours and three linen changes before he finally passed out for the night.
