Coxsackie is the soul sucking virus that found its way to my son. 

My son Donnie is ABSOLUTELY miserable.  There is no more fever, but what has taken the fevers place is a throat full of sores.  

Tonight after having an ice pop for dinner he said "Mommy today while Nana was watching me I think I swallowed a fork.  That is why my throat hurts so much".

I said, "no honey, it was not a fork you swallowed, you got a virus from school, you will feel better soon".

"But Ma, you said that like 20 years ago"

Blank stare was returned to him because I just sat and wondered where he get this stuff from?
