Top Ten Things To Do During Your First 103 Degree Fever
as told to Mommy by Maggie Daley

10) Act completely healthy so that your mom takes you to the mall all day before she figures out you're sick.

9) Wake up from your nap really grumpy and ON FIRE so your mom has to take your temperature and give you Tylenol.

8) Go to bed at the regular time, only to wake up 2 hours later even HOTTER than before. Make your mom call the pediatrician at 11:30 at night.

7) Scream like you're dying during the cool bath your Dad puts you in at 11:30 at night.

6) Wake up at 5am, and make your mom take you downstairs to sleep with her on the couch.

5) Don't sleep on the couch. Watch the same 3 episodes of "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch" over and over again.

4) Look extra pathetic when Grandma comes over so she'll buy you a present.

3) Scream like someone's pulling out your toenails when your mom wipes your runny nose.

2) Convince your mom your brain cells are frying by talking in your sleep and looking at her like you don't recognize her.

And The Number One Thing To Do During Your First 103 Degree Fever Is:

1) Make a game out of pulling all the Kleenex out of the box one by one. Your mom won't yell at you because you're so sick and she feels bad for you!

hahahah Sarah. Poor Maggie! Patti used to run fevers like that all the time when she was little. She would always hallucinate and see a lion in her window and want to go outside on her swings in the middle of the night. Try getting a two year old back to bed when she is convinced there is a lion in her window. It was always a lion.. I dont know why!
