Smart remarks about a week of sick kids on Facebook

This week I made a bunch of smart remarks about sick kids on Facebook.

Today January 25

Andy is home from church with sick boys so we’re . . . having sword fights and . . . playing the harmonica. 10:02am

Yesterday January 24

Andy thinks there are lots of people out this Saturday morning–starting to get into the spring routine. But I could just be projecting that. 10:13am

Joel Scandrett at 10:20am January 24

uh, “spring routine?”

Andy Rowell at 10:23am January 24

It is 53 degrees right now in Durham, NC. We were just outside riding bikes and playing soccer. I see it is 3 degrees in my hometown Wheaton, Il where you are Joel. Sorry. What a difference 50 degrees makes.

Natalie Freeman Calhoun at 10:25am January 24

That is so very very wrong.

Andy Rowell at 10:30am January 24

I actually also think in terms of three seasons: “Fall Semester” “Spring Semester” and “Summer” and spring semester began a couple weeks ago.

Joel Scandrett at 11:10am January 24

apology accepted. 😉

January 23

Andy C.H.I.L.D: Carrier of Highly Infectious Longlasting Diseases. 8:32pm –

Donna M. Becker at 3:46pm January 24

Love your acronym!

January 22

Andy taught 1 year old Jacob to throw Kleenex in the garbage can. Now he keeps digging it out and throwing in back in. I’ve created a monster. 11:59am

January 20

Andy would like to buy stock in Kleenex because my boys alone will keep them profitable. 5:08pm

Andy looked through 7 bins of clothes and didn’t find the snowsuits. That is the problem when it only snows once a year. 9:25am

January 19

Andy wonders if “demon-possessed” children were brought to Jesus but all they had was a cold. Sometimes it is difficult to know the difference. 8:58am

Andy rents out sick children. Low low price. Special opportunity to wipe snotty noses! 8:01am

Natalie Freeman Calhoun at 8:10am January 19

Hehehe do you accept other sick kids in trade? You can send me your runny noses if I can send you my upset stomachs?

Joel Scandrett at 12:05pm January 19

I’ll see your cold and raise you a stomach virus!

January 17

Andy is minivan-shopping, reading Barth’s commentary on Romans, and playing with the Shake’n’Go speedway. 3:49pm

Andy notes that “Jakey likes it”–namely Life Cereal. Our 1 year old ate three bowls of Life this morning. What a discovery–he likes sugar. 8:56am

January 16

Andy thinks it is hard for those of us who love our jobs (pastor, student, etc.) to take Sabbath. But among other reasons, our kids need us to do so anyway. 9:26am
