So, Ethan, Madeleine and I are sitting in an exam room waiting to get tested for flu.
MADELEINE: Mommy. A fever of 101 is: stay home from school. A fever of 103 is: go to the hospital.
ME: Well, 100.4 is considered a fever, so that's the temperature that means stay home from school.
MADELEINE: Well, Mommy, they say on "Full House" that 101 is stay home and 103 is hospital.
ME: Julia had a 103 fever on Thursday and she didn't have to go to the hospital.
MADELEINE: Maybe it's because "Full House" is from a long time ago. I think it's from, like, 1976.
ME: "Full House" is from the '80' and '90s, honey.
ETHAN: Yeah, like around 1992. Not 1976. Madeleine, 1976 is when I was born.
MADELEINE: (thoughtful silence) Did you even HAVE TV's then??
Sheesh, Madeleine. We're not THAT old!!!
Hahahahaha, 40 years plus is too many years for that brain! I'd hate to think what she'd think of the time when I was born.
