A Story from a Friend
Aug 29, 2005
My friends, Mr. and Mrs. Alpha (who have four children under the age of 7, including a newborn), invited Mr. & Mrs. Beta (who have five children of approximately the same age) to spend a long weekend with them. This made a total of 13 souls in a single home! 13!
Then, one of the Beta children becomes sick....you know where this is going. Before the end of the visit, each member of each family succumbs to a nasty stomach virus - which lasts for days.
Excluding the fathers.
How DID Mr. Alpha and Mr. Beta get so lucky? The mind boggles.
Not so sure they were the lucky ones - they presumably had to clean up all the stomach flu messes of the other 11 people? Ugh!
