Sick Kid

Surely I'm not the only one. Staying home from school when sick was a rarity, but when it happened, it was kind of fun. Your siblings trudged off to school while you got to stay home and get a little bit of pampering from mom. I guess this was the way it was because we never faked it and staying home didn't happen all that often. Does the photo below look familiar? Vick's VapoRub in a vaporizer for congestion. Crackers and ginger ale (or Sprite) for an upset stomach. Campbell's soup just because that's what you eat when you're sick. Sitting on the couch watching game shows on TV (especially The Price is Right with Bob Barker). The one thing I would add to this list is cinnamon toast. Mom always made cinnamon toast when we were sick. Does this bring back memories for anybody else? It was different back then. Today when kids stay home from school they probably play video games or sit on their phones all day. Where's the fun in that?
