that is just bananas!

I received a call from the school nurse yesterday, "your son's stomach is not feeling well and he's a bit warm.  I can keep him here in my office until he gets worse and stuff starts to come out, or you can come pick him up".

me: what is his temperature?

nurse: 98.2

me: 98.2 is a fever?

nurse: kids usually run in the 97s in the morning

me: (not pointing out that 9.82 is REALLY close to the 97s) OK, I'll come get him.

once I get there I see he has puppy dog eyes.  then he informed me we had to go back to his classroom to get his lunch box.  he took the stairs two at a time, ran, hopped, skipped and jumped all the while.  on the way to the office I asked, "are you sure your stomach hurts".  "yes, it does.  but I think I will feel better after playing some video games". 

he got in the car and devoured his lunch; a chili con carne quesadilla.  we got home and he went straight to his room.  played on the computer for a few hours and announced, "I'm all better, I'm not sick any more".

one of two things happened.  I've been had, OR video games really do cure stomach aches!  OK that is just bananas.
